Major new edition - now with over 320,000 words and phrases
Acclaimed by language professionals the world over, this dictionary is the result of a unique collaboration between two of the world's foremost dictionary publishers.
This major new edition, published in November 1999, now has over 320,000 words and phrases, and over 520,000 translations. It gives detailed treatment of all the latest vocabulary and includes thousands of new words and expressions.
All the changes required by the recently-ratified German spelling reforms have been incorporated into the text, while the old spellings have been retained to show how they have changed.
It now includes extra grammar and vocabulary-building help and the attractive new layout makes this dictionary very easy to use. Model letters, sample CVs, a cultural calendar to explain how key events are celebrated in the German-speaking world, and diagrams illustrating the political systems of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland all combine to make this the most complete and up-to-date dictionary of German available.
The previous edition, which covered 260,000 words and phrases, was available under the ISBN 0198601328.
