Product Description

Product Description
The most respected Spanish/English dictionary in the world has been completely revised and updated. With over 200,000 entries, it is among the most comprehensive bilingual dictionaries available, covering the latest technical and scientific terms, thousands of regionalisms and idioms, geographic and biographic entries, a complete table of irregular Spanish verbs, elements of grammar, and a guide to pronunciation for both Spanish and English. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Inside Flap
The most respected Spanish–English dictionary, with greater authority than ever.

For almost 25 years, Webster’s New World International Spanish Dictionary has been known and respected throughout the world as the most complete and up–to–date bilingual dictionary of the Spanish and English languages. Now revised and updated for the first time, this new edition continues that tradition, providing a comprehensive lexicon of two languages as they are encountered and used today.

To the rich base of over 200,000 entries have been added almost 10,000 new words and phrases that reflect changes in the political world, technology, business, and society. Every dictionary entry has been reviewed and many have been revised to reflect both classical and current usage in the written and spoken vocabulary. The result is a new bilingual dictionary that exceeds some unabridged monolingual dictionaries in the completeness of its entry selection and definitions. Here, in thousands of words, phrases, examples, and idioms is the diversity of history, literature, tradition, and temperament of two worlds.

  • The most exact equivalents and definitions given in a bilingual dictionary.
  • The latest technical and scientific terminology.
  • The richest, most extensive treatment of idioms, colloquialisms, and slang.
  • Comprehensive treatment of Latin–American, Iberian, North American, and British variants and regionalisms.
  • Precise transposition of both languages, with thousands of usage examples from history and literature.
  • Encyclopedic entries in the fields of history, politics, religion, mythology, science, technology, and the arts.
  • Extensive coverage of notable people and places, including all countries and their capitals.
  • Chemistry symbols, acronyms, and abbreviations.
  • Outline of English and Spanish grammars, and a complete table of irregular Spanish verbs and their conjugation.
  • English pronunciation in the universally recognized International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) in each entry, and a guide to Spanish pronunciation.
  • Large, clear type on pages designed for maximum readability and ease in locating entries.

Webster’s New World International Spanish Dictionary is an indispensable reference for students, teachers, translators, interpreters, and professionals–a must for schools and libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Friend and Companion!, 13 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I am a Spanish/English - English Spanish Certified Translator from Bogota, Colombia. I have worked in Mining, Pretroleum, Medical and Legal fields for more than 15 years, in Colombia and abroad and found this dictionary one of the most valuable tools in my daily life.

This dictionary preserves the essence of the languages and interpret their mutations in usage without distorting them.

When a colleague or a friend of mine is in the need of a meaning of a word, I usually say to them: "My favorite dictionary is here waiting for you, and remember, if you do not find it here, it does not exist."

I highly recommend the Simon & Schuster's International Dictionary for its foreign acquisitions, national and regional variants, the variety of meanings given to certain terms, the many slogans, and even the vulgarisms which do not appear in other dictionaries. Furthermore, it is one of the most complete and up-to-date bilingual dictionary in the Spanish and English-speaking worlds.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAGNIFICENT DICTIONARY FOR EVERYONE, GREAT QUALITY., 29 Aug 1998
By A Customer
THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO DEAL WITH MANY SPANISH SPEAKING PEOPLE FOM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. IT IS RICH IN IDIOMS, REGIONALISMS,TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY. I DID NOTICED THAT SIMON & SCHUSTER FORGOT ONE WORD IN THE SPANISH SECTION ( I CAN'T WRITE IT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A SPANISH KEYBOARD AND IT WILL NOT MAKE SENSE WITHOUT THE CORRECT LETTERS ) . THE WORD CAN BE FOUND IN THE ENGLISH SIDE BUT NOT IN THE SPANISH SIDE. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS THE BEST SPANISH DICTIONARY.
