This volume examines some of the ways in which dictionary use has
been studied, considers the problems encountered by researchers in
this field, and presents a series of experiments which explore
fundamental questions concerning the use of dictionaries by
learners of English as a foreign language. - Are dictionaries
helpful in examinations? Does defining style affect consultation
success? Do dictionaries benefit some kinds of learners more than
others? How useful are illustrative examples? The author concludes
with an analysis of current trends in the design of dictionaries
for learners of English, and considers the possible impact of new
elctronic formats on dictionary use.

Alexander Harkavy (1863-1939) is credited with almost
single-handedly creating an intellectual environment conducive to
Yiddish, and his trilingual dictionary is an indispensable tool for
research in Yiddish language and literature. This dictionary has
been a classic since it originally appeared in New York in 1925.
A comprehensive reference for native speakers of Spanish
A new addition to the successful line of Vox dictionaries, "Vox
diccionario de lengua espanola" is a convenient and easy-to-read
text of the most commonly used words in Spanish. The monolingual
dictionary is comprised of 18,000 entries and more than 28,000
translations and provides up-to-date language from across the
Spanish-speaking world.
The rapid progress in clinical and experimental immunological
research, in addition to the radical change in immunological
concepts in recent years, has been accompanied by similar
developments in the technical vocabulary, and, as a consequence,
frequent widespread confusion. The fourth edition of The Dictionary
of Immunology will satisfy the needs of any biologist, clinician or
biochemist who requires easy reference to current immunological
usage.
This well-established work has been completely revised and updated
to include key terms arising from new discoveries in the
fast-developing fields of molecular and cellular immunology. The
Dictionary of Immunology contains brief descriptions of the most
commonly used immunological techniques, as well as definitions,
useful in clinical immunology, of immunodeficiency states and
autoimmune diseases. Clear illustrations and tables have been added
to complement the text, and extensive cross-referencing is used to
inform an integrated view.
The Dictionary will serve equally as a handy reference, a companion
to other reference texts, or a spelling and fact checker for
students, research scientists and those engaged in ancillary
activities such as science journalists, and the curious lay reader.
* Special Features:
* Radical revision, including addition of 30% new terms.
