Learner's Dictionary

The Oxford Advanced American Dictionary helps learners understand what words mean, and how to use them correctly. The content is based on research with teachers in the USA, and is informed by an Advisory Board of language experts comprising Jayme Adelson-Goldstein, Cheryl Boyd Zimmerman, Keith Folse, and Alison Rice. The dictionary identifies the Oxford 3000TM keywords - the most important words to know in English. These 3,000 words are used as the defining vocabulary, so explanations are easy to understand. You can download the full Oxford 3000TM list from the dictionary CD-ROM to use as a revision checklist or as a basis for a vocabulary syllabus. The 85,500 corpus-based examples show how words work in practice, helping students use words correctly. The Oxford Advanced American Dictionary CD-ROM includes the full A-Z dictionary, spoken words, a searchable Picture Dictionary, a Topic Dictionary and the option to create personal word lists.

El Nuevo diccionario de voces de uso actual recoge un amplio número de palabras que son empleadas en la prensa escrita durante la última década, y que no figuran en el diccionario de la Academia. Parte de la version anterior de la obra, el Diccionario de voces de uso actual (1994), del que se han suprimido las entradas de palabras que recoge la Academia en la ultima edicion de su diccionario (2001). De las 5309 entradas y 8669 citas de la edicion anterior, se ha pasado a mas de 12000 voces con mas de 21000 citas. A este resultado se ha llegado tras un atento examen realizado durante varios años de periodicos (diarios, revistas de informacion general, revistas de divulgacion cientifica) españoles, de ambito general, a la vez que, siempre que ha sido posible, se ofrecen apariciones de esas voces en la prensa americana que se puede, o podia, consultar a traves de Internet. Este Nuevo diccionario de voces de uso actual constituye, pues, un valioso complemento de la obra academica porque en el figuran voces o acepciones que no podemos considerar como nuevas en la lengua, pero que no constan en el repertorio oficial, como puedan ser abatible, acojonante, basket, buque insignia, casco antiguo, cowboy, donut, emilianense, escalextric, inasumible, orsay, pichichi, pitagorin, rififi, y tantos otros, entre los que hay no pocos tecnicismos (como betahidroxiacido, clembuterol, encefalocele, eritromicina, etc.). Tambien aparecen en el Nuevo diccionario de voces de uso actual deslizamientos semanticos que proporcionan sentidos nuevos a palabras viejas (agujero, bisagra, buho, chaque, corbata, dragon, egoista, feudo, fontanero, etc.). El Nuevo diccionario de voces de uso actual que se presenta resulta ser no solo un complemento del Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, sino tambien un auxiliar para los estudiosos del español.

The 18th edition of Daniel Jones's classic work is the definitive guide to contemporary English pronunciation. This new and fully updated edition contains over 230,000 pronunciations of words, names and phrases. In addition, it includes lively essays on aspects of pronunciation by leading experts in the field, a phonetics and phonology glossary and notes explaining the relationship between spellings and sounds.

Extends the aims of conventional dictionaries to be more useful, more practical, and more informative. Revised second edition. Softcover. According to the preface, this is ''a fully integrated reference book'' that offers a ''greater depth of information than is normal in a dictionary.'' This depth rests in the appendixes, which include a chronology of world events, countries of the world, a 16-page atlas, etc.--addenda that may be a plus for the home user but are not that useful for librarians, who will choose more obvious sources when hunting for this information. The dictionary itself, which is based on the Concise Oxford Dictionary (8th ed.), offers 3000 new words and senses but at times gives obtuse definitions. ''Wolfsbane,'' for example, is defined as ''an aconite,'' which is in turn defined as ''a poisonous ranunculaceous plant of the genus Aconitum, esp. monkshood or wolfsbane.'' (Compare the definition from Merriam Webster, 10th ed., which refers the reader to Monkshood and provides the information that it is dangerous: ''a highly variable yellow-flowered poisonous herb.'') Another drawback is the pronunciation scheme (the International Phonetic Alphabet), which is found only at the beginning of the book, making it difficult to puzzle out pronunciations without flipping back. Finally, this is a British English dictionary, not a U.S. English dictionary. Recommended only for academic and public libraries looking for an updated British English dictionary.
