Product Description

Product Description
Based on the 100-million word British National Corpus and the Longman Corpus Network, this dictionary explores a vivid and exciting area of English - spoken English. It also pinpoints the language patterns and grammar unique to spoken English. The 2000-word Longman Defining Vocabulary is made up of words students already know, and the dictionary's definitions have been written using this familiar set of core words.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive and Invaluable Reference, 28 May 2003
This review is from: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, 4th edition (book and CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)
The latest edition of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is one of the most user-friendly dictionaries ESL learners will find to help them understand natural English usage. With more than 150,000 real-life examples, this dictionary effectively shows how English works in both formal and informal situations.

This new version of Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is definitely a major reference for students of English and their teachers. The definitions are clear and simple for they are written using only 2,000 frequently used words (as defined in Longman Defining Vocabulary). Special features of this dictionary include: (i) Highlighting of top 3,000 words in spoken and written English; this allows students to target the most important words in the language, (ii) Word Focus Boxes and Usage Notes; they help the users to choose the right word for the right context and (iii) ¡§Signposts¡¨ in longer entries; they guide the users straight to the meaning they want. Technical grammar issues such as phrasal verbs, collocations, synonyms and punctuation are explained precisely and concisely in non-technical terms. In this reference set an interactive CD-ROM is included. The disc contains full contents of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, the entire Longman Language Activator and over 6000 entries taken from the Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture. It offers additional example sentences, extra word combinations and interactive exam practice to help users learn how to use the language idiomatically. All these features make the CD-ROM an indispensable study tool.

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, 4th Edition (Book and CD-ROM) is a comprehensive and invaluable reference for lovers of the English language in general, and ESL learners in particular. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants to speak and write better English.

5.0 out of 5 stars I find it very useful for me as a non-native speaker., 23 April 2001
By anusarin@yahoo.com (Manchester, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOC) (Hardcover)
As a non-native speaker, sometimes I find it difficult to look for slang or colloquial vocabularies in other dictionaries but when I give up looking for such words' meaning and try this dictionary I borrowed from friend, it never disappoints me. Also it explains the use of each word which I think is as important as the meaning of the word itself because if we only know what it means but use it in incorrect context, we may not get ourselves understood or it could lead to complete misunderstandings. Great buy, not so expensive. I would recommend it to everyone who uses English as a second language.
