Описание: | The comprehensive one-stop reference for everyone at college or university, with over 90,000 headwords and over 220,000 definitions. The Encarta® Student Dictionary is the result of an in-depth survey of academics, teachers, students and parents aimed at finding out how English is being used at the start of the twenty-first century. An advisory board of university and college teachers of English has supplied first-hand information on the areas of language that cause their students most difficulties, and these areas have been addressed in the Dictionary. Special coverage has also been given to the latest terms from science and technology, the Internet, the arts, the media, business, and economics. Includes 5,000 new words and meanings plus 650 illustrations, maps, tables, and photos plus over 8,000 names of people and places. |
