Peter Gilliver (born 14 June 1964) is a lexicographer and associate editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.
Career
Gilliver's parents were both linguists. He attended Barnard Castle School, and has a degree in Mathematics from Jesus College, Cambridge,[1] and a qualification in Information Science from Liverpool.
As of 2013, he was responsible for the largest three or four entries in the then-current electronic revision, including the then largest (that for "run", which took him over 9 months and has 645 meanings for the verb form alone).
In 2016 Gilliver published a history of the OED,[2] which took most of the previous decade to write.
He and his partner sing in various choirs, including the Oxford Bach Choir (which they came to administer by 2021), and Fiori Musicali.[3]
