This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail-although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.

R656 Discovery Miles 6 560 Ships in 4 - 6 working days

Die Ekonomiese en Bedryfswoordeboek bestryk die terrein van sowel die makro- en mikro-ekonomie as die bedryfslewe. Dit bevat die belangrikste en mees gebruikte terme van die bedryfsekonomie in al sy onderdele, soos bemarking, produksie, finansiering en kosteberekening, asook die belangrikste en mees gebruikte tegniese en vakterme uit die mielie- en veebedryf, goudmynbou, die bou- en staalbedryf, die tekstielbedryf en ander bedryfstakke uit die nywerheid. Die versekeringswese en die groot- en kleinhandel uit die dienstesektor word ook gedek. Daarby is 'n verskeidenheid terme uit verwante vakgebiede ingesluit, soos vakwoorde uit die wiskunde, die statistiek, die handelsreg en die rekenaarkunde.Bylaes met afkortings, sinoniemgroepe en 'n waardevolle gids tot die gebruik van Afrikaanse en Engelse terme verhoog die waarde van die woordeboek. Since the publication of the first edition of the Economics Dictionary in 1976 many developments have resulted in the observation that this work required thorough revision. Several of the Afrikaans terms showed little viability, many terms were missing from both the English and Afrikaans texts, strong growth in the economic literature and that of related sciences, together with developments in the business world, called for Afrikaans terms, while the publication of a number of Afrikaans texts offered a valuable source of new terminology. This major new dictionary is a thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged edition of the Economics Dictionary of 1976. With English as source language the number of headwords more than doubled - from 40 000 to nearly 100 000.

Translated by the author from his Tre Dialoghi, published in 1989 by Bollati Boringhieri Editore. In this lively collection of dialogues, Bencivenga endeavors to be true to the nature of philosophical practice- its constant superseding of its own results, its open-endedness, its paradoxical turning of a position into its opposite- as he explores issues ranging from feminism to metaphysics, from the philosophy of science to aesthetics, as well as the intrinsically dialogic nature of philosophical activity itself.

R367 R331 Discovery Miles 3 310 Save R36 (10%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

By 1700, France and Italy already had dictionaries of their own, and it became a matter of national pride that England should rival them. Dr Johnson rose to the challenge, turning over the garret of his London home to the creation of his Dictionary. He imagined it would take three years. Eight years later it was finally published, full of idiosyncrasies, but complete nevertheless. It would become the most important British cultural monument of the eighteenth century. This is the story of Johnson's attempt to define each and every word. In wonderfully engaging chapters, Hitchings describes Johnson's adventure - his ambition and vision, his moments of despair, the mistakes he made along the way and his ultimate triumph.

'A glossary of colloquial Anglo-Indian words and phrases, and of kindred terms, etymological, historical, geographical and discursive.' Hobson-Jobson is a unique work of maverick scholarship. Compiled in 1886 by two India enthusiasts, it documents the words and phrases that entered English from Arabic, Persian, Indian, and Chinese sources - and vice versa. Described by Salman Rushdie as 'the legendary dictionary of British India' it shows how words of Indian origin were absorbed into the English language and records not only the vocabulary but the culture of the Raj. Illustrative quotations from a wide range of travel texts, histories, memoirs, and novels create a canon of English writing about India. The definitions frequently slip into anecdote, reminiscence, and digression, and they offer intriguing insights into Victorian attitudes to India and its people and customs. With its delight in language, etymology, and puns, Hobson-Jobson has fascinated generations of writers from Rudyard Kipling to Tom Stoppard and Amitav Ghosh. This selected edition retains the range and idiosyncrasy of the original, and includes fascinating information on the glossary's creation and its significance for the English language. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
