6.4 Using HTOED

We have looked at various sections from HTOED in this book, and seen how helpful it can be in tracing lexical change and offering us clues to social and cultural change. HTOED is a unique resource: it is the first and only comprehensive historical thesaurus for English and, as far as we know, for any other language, although others may follow for languages which have resources comparable to the OED, such as Dutch and Scots. This section will look in more detail at the structure of HTOED and at some of the kinds of information that can be extracted from it.
