Does an unabridged dictionary contain all of the words in the English language?

Probably not. There always seems to be a few words which can be found in one dictionary which are not found in others. What unabridged means is that the dictionary contains all the words which the dictionary writer wrote definitions for. An abridged dictionary contains only those words that an editor thought you would likely need to look up, and leaves out those which are extremely technical or obsolete.
