  • 챔버스 사전(The Chambers's Dictionary , TCD)은 1872년 스코트랜드의 윌리엄 챔버스(William Chambers)와 (Robert Chambers)에 의해 "챔버스의 영어사전"으로 처음 출판되었었다. 이것은 제임스 도날드가 편집한 1867년 챔버스 어원 사전의 확대판이었다. 1898년에 두 번째 판이 나왔고 1901년에 챔버스즈 20세기 사전(CHAMBERS'STWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY)이라는 새로운 판이 그 뒤를 이었다. 챔버스 영어사전(TCD)는 다른 사전들과 비교해 더 많은 방언, 고어, 속어 단어들을 포함하고 있었고, 때때로 우스꽝스러운 유머러스한 정의로 유명하다. 1970년대에 출판사에 의해 이러한 정의들은 삭제편집되었지만, 독자들이 가지고 있던 애착 때문에 1983년판에 다시 복원되었다. 챔버스 영어사전(Chambers Dictionary)의 12번째 판은 Chambers Harrap Publisher Ltd.(CHP 주식회사)에 의해 2011년 8월에 출판되었으며, 62,500개의 주요 항목으로 1936페이지에 달한다.

  • The Chambers Dictionary (TCD) was first published by William and Robert Chambers as Chambers's English Dictionary in 1872. It was an expanded version of Chambers's Etymological Dictionary of 1867, compiled by James Donald. A second edition came out in 1898, and was followed in 1901 by a new compact edition called Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary. TCD is widely used by British crossword solvers and setters, and by Scrabble players (though it is no longer the official Scrabble dictionary). It contains many more dialectal, archaic, unconventional and eccentric words than its rivals, and is noted for its occasional wryly humorous definitions. Examples of such definitions include those for éclair ("a cake, long in shape but short in duration") and middle-aged ("between youth and old age, variously reckoned to suit the reckoner"). These jocular definitions were removed by the publisher in the 1970s, but many of them were reinstated in 1983 because of the affection in which they were held by readers. The twelfth edition of The Chambers Dictionary was published in August 2011 by Chambers Harrap Publishers Ltd and runs to 1936 pages with 62,500 main entries. This edition is available for mobile use as an iPhone, iPad, or Android app. That has been followed by the thirteenth edition published in 2014. Also on sale is the smaller 21st Century Dictionary of 1664 pages, where "the focus is on the English that people use today, and definitions are given in straightforward, accessible language". This dictionary can be accessed for free online. (en)
  • Le Chambers Dictionary est un dictionnaire de référence pour la langue anglaise. Sa dixième édition a été publiée en 2006 par Chambers Harrap Publishers. La onzième date du 22 août 2008 et la douzième du 26 août 2011. Ses deux auteurs et éditeurs d'origine étaient des Écossais, les frères William (1800-1883) et Robert Chambers (1802-1871), le second étant par ailleurs un célèbre naturaliste. Tous deux avaient un doigt supplémentaire à chaque main. Ils vivaient à Peebles, une petite ville des Scottish Borders. À partir de 1901, le dictionnaire s'est intitulé Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary. Il se nomme aujourd'hui le Chambers Twenty-First Century Dictionary. La première édition compte 10 volumes et est publiée de 1860 à 1868), à Edimbourg. La deuxième édition, publiée en 520 fascicules hebdomadaires entre 1888 et 1892, forme un ensemble relié de dix volumes comptant environ 8 300 pages, 85 000 entrées et quelque 10 millions de mots. Elle a mobilisé 200 contributeurs. Cette édition compte de nombreuses données sur les États-Unis. Le Chambers est le dictionnaire anglophone qui comporte le plus de mots en un seul volume. Il contient plus de termes dialectaux, archaïques ou inattendus que ses concurrents. Volontiers utilisé par les amateurs de mots croisés ou de Scrabble, il est connu pour proposer, de-ci de-là, quelques définitions humoristiques. Un « éclair », selon le Chambers, est une « pâtisserie de forme longue mais de courte durée », tandis que l'« âge moyen » se situe « entre la jeunesse et la vieillesse ; variable en fonction de la personne qui en fait l'estimation ». On suppose que ces définitions, à l'origine, furent introduites par des lexicographes facétieux. À un moment donné, elles furent supprimées par l'éditeur ; l'éclair devint une « pâtisserie de forme longue, constituée de pâte à chou fourrée à la crème et couverte d'un glaçage au chocolat ou au café » ; puis on les rétablit, à titre d'attraction.
