description &lt;p&gt;The &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Macquarie Dictionary&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;, first published in Sydney in 1981, was intended to be the first comprehensive dictionary of Australian English. Now in its third edition it has been widely adopted by institutions and the general community as the national dictionary. This paper traces its development from a difficult birth to its present maturity, from a large set of cards to an electronic database, from a single book to a lexicographic library. The rationale and the methodology are laid out along with an account of the reception given to the dictionary in Australia and internationally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Keywords:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; dictionary; lexicography; macquarie dictionary; australianness; australianise; australian english; national dictionaries; phonology; international phonetic alphabet; lexical labels; lexicographic style; language style; colloquial; aboriginal words; electronic database; corpus; citation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;<br>&lt;p&gt;Die &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Macquarie Dictionary&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; wat vir die eerste keer in 1981 in Sydney gepubliseer is, was bedoel om die eerste omvattende woordeboek van Australiese Engels te wees. Die woordeboek wat tans in sy derde uitgawe is, word reeds algemeen deur instansies en die algemene publiek as nasionale woordeboek aanvaar. Hierdie artikel skets sy ontwikkeling vanaf 'n moeilike geboorte tot sy huidige volwassenheid, vanaf 'n groot versameling kaartjies tot 'n elektroniese databasis, vanaf 'n enkele boek tot 'n leksikografiese biblioteek. Die grondbeginsels en metodologie word gegee saam met 'n verslag van die ontvangs wat dit in Australië en internasionaal gekry het.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Sleutelwoorde:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; woordeboek; leksikografie; macquarie dictionary; australiesheid; australianiseer; australiese engels; nasionale woordeboeke; fonologie; internasionale fonetiese alfabet; leksikale etikette; leksikografiese styl; taalstyl; omgangstaal; aboriginele woorde; elektroniese databasis; korpus; aanhaling&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
