Edición de la obra The Concise Oxford-Duden German dictionary

"Based on the highly acclaimed Oxford-Duden German Dictionary, this is an authoritative guide to German and English in a concise and accessible format. It draws on detailed electronic analysis of The British National Corpus, an unrivalled balanced collection of real written and spoken English, and Duden's extensive programme of research into contemporary German." "All areas of language - from general to technical, business to literary - are covered in depth. This the first German-English dictionary of its size to adopt the new, preferred German spelling system. Old spellings are listed and clearly marked to show users that they have changed. Fully revised and updated, this major new edition includes thousands of new words and phrases. Innovative in-text boxes on topics such as letter-writing, nationalities, jobs, greetings, and apologizing, group together word patterns and expressions to help with usage, construction, and vocabulary-building. A unique new guide to email and the Internet offers a gateway to life and culture in the German-speaking world. All the essential vocabulary from the key topics required by the regional exam boards - the environment, society, business and industry, communication, and media and the arts - is listed in one quick-reference section."--Jacket.
