By far the largest and most up-to-date single-volume
English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionary available and
endorsed by academics worldwide, the Oxford Chinese Dictionary has
been designed both for English speakers learning Mandarin Chinese
and Mandarin Chinese speakers learning English. It has been
produced using the latest lexicographic methods and the unique
dictionary resources of Oxford University Press in Oxford and
Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in Beijing, together
with an international body of expert advisors. The Oxford Chinese
Dictionary contains over 300,000 words and phrases and 370,000
translations, including the latest vocabulary from computing,
business, the media, and the arts, and tens of thousands of example
phrases illustrating key points of construction and usage. There
are over 300 cultural notes giving essential information about many
aspects of life and culture in the Chinese- and English-speaking
worlds. The dictionary is based throughout on corpus research for
both English and Chinese, providing up-to-date evidence on real
language. The English is based on the Oxford English Corpus, and
the Chinese draws on the LIVAC corpus from the City University of
Hong Kong. Extensive supplementary material includes sample letters
and emails, guides to telephoning and text messaging in both
Chinese and English, chronologies of Chinese history and culture,
and features on particularly difficult aspects of the Chinese
language, such as kinship terms and measure words. There are also
over 50 pages of lexical and usage notes which contain helpful
extra information about Chinese and English. The organization and
layout have been designed for maximum clarity and accessibility.
All Chinese headwords and compounds are shown with Pinyin
transcriptions, so that the learner of Chinese can pronounce each
one correctly. Chinese headwords are given in Simplified Chinese
characters, but Traditional Chinese character versions are also
given in brackets after the headwords when they differ from the
Simplified form. All the English headwords are also shown with
phonetics, so that the learner of English can pronounce each one
correctly. The Chinese-English section of the dictionary is
organised alphabetically by Pinyin and there is also a radical
index which allows you to look up a character without knowing its
Pinyin form.
