Macmillan English Dictionary, 2nd Edition (CD/MDF)
The second edition of the Macmillan English Dictionary now contains a wealth of new material, while building on the innovative features that won it two prestigious awards. The most frequent 7,500 words in English - the ideal vocabulary size for an advanced learner - are printed in red, graded with stars, and explained with extra detail about how you should use them.
This new edition includes:
* hundreds of new words (satnav, greenwash, carbon trading, adspend, crystal meth, cyberlaw, geoeconomics)
* many more collocations, synonyms and antonyms
* extra clearly labelled subject-specific vocabulary (equity capital, faultline, heritage language, link rot, culture medium, data compression)
* multi-page vocabulary building sections on the themes of movement, communication and emotions
* a complete package of unique, carefully researched materials based on a detailed analysis of learners' own writing.
Full-page writing sections and Get it right boxes help you to become a more confident writer in academic and professional situations. This material has been created following a two-year collaboration with the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics, led by Professor Sylviane Granger, at the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium.
