Synopsis

Compiled by expert teams of Spanish and English lexicographers and boasting a beautiful two-color layout, the Oxford Spanish Dictionary provides the richest, most contemporary coverage of Spanish from around the world. The result of thorough research using sophisticated computer programs to search for new terminology and ensure that all the latest vocabulary from Latin American Spanish and American English is covered, this superb resource covers over 24 varieties of Spanish as it is written and spoken throughout the Spanish-speaking world--from Spain to Mexico, from Peru to the River Plate. Here now is a major new edition of this leading Spanish-English dictionary, with more than 4,000 new words added, plus many other new features. With over 300,000 words and phrases, and half a million translations, the Oxford Spanish Dictionary is the ultimate resource and the first place to turn for answers to all Spanish-English language questions. The dictionary includes extensive coverage of business, IT, and scientific terminology, and contains completely revised information on the cultures of Spanish and English-speaking countries. As in previous editions, there are thousands of sample sentences to illustrate meaning and usage, special emphasis on idioms and regional expressions, and extensive glosses for easy identification of senses, style, levels, and more. Finally, the volume offers more than 100 pages of helpful appendices.

Review:

`Review from previous edition the dictionary is a fantastic piece of work, full of good examples, very instructive, and carefully done'
Dr Ignacio M. Palacios Martinez, Universidad de Santiago

`Given the global reputation of Oxford lexicography, the first edition of their Spanish dictionary signalled the birth of another future giant; but the speed of its growth is vertiginous...The already rich coverage in the previous edition has been enhanced with 20,000 new entries, which cover
the latest vocabulary across hundreds of topics...Definitions are presented in the most lucid manner.
