![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. Ninth edition I LOVE my Advanced Learners Dictionary when I hold it I feel like a Professional :3 I found this dictionary rather frustrating, at least for pupils with English as a foreign language. The explanations often used words I didn't know, so I had to read several other entries, until I finally lost track of what I was looking for. (I've used the 1984 edition at that time, so maybe the dictionary has improved since. Recommendation: try the Collins English Dictionary.) Very decent for students, though modern dictionaries are more elaborate... Special Features Include:- - text completely corrected, revised and updated - up-to-date vocabulary, including literary and technical English - practical definitions and usage notes in simple English - numerous example sentences to illustrate sentence patterns and contexts - over 100000 items in phonetic transcription, using the latest Jones/Gimson system of International Phonetic Association symbols - American English spellings, meanings, pronunciation and vocabulary - fully illustrated with photographs and line drawings, many grouped under topics, with numerous labels no reviews | add a review
