OED Historical Thesaurus 15-min virtual tour

The Historical Thesaurus of the works as a taxonomic index of language history and, unlike a typical thesaurus, it is not just for looking up synonyms – instead, it can be used to explore the different words used for a particular meaning over time.

Kate Wild, OED Editor, and James McCracken, Language Engineer Manager, will take us on a 15-min virtual tour of the OED Historical Thesaurus, covering its functionality, examples of use in research, and potential future developments.
