Pearson, "Longman Dictionary of American English, Special Edition"

The 4th edition of the Longman Dictionary of American English has been researched

and revised to meet the real needs of learners of English. The up-dated text now includes

thousands of words for content areas such as Science, Economics and Social Science, as

well as Word Origins and updated thesaurus boxes that give extra help with vocabulary

acquisition.

Real Language

All Longman dictionaries are based on the authentic language data in the Longman Corpus

Network. This unique computerized language database now contains over 400 million

words from all types of written texts, and from real conversations recorded across the US.

The Corpus tells us how frequently words and phrases are used, so there is no guesswork in

deciding which ones students need to know most. The Corpus also shows which grammar

patterns are the most important to illustrate, which important new words and idioms people

use every day, and which words are frequently used together (collocations). We take our

example sentences from the Corpus, and this makes the language come alive as never before.

Real Clarity

The definitions in Longman dictionaries are written using only the 2,000 most common

English words – the Longman American Defining Vocabulary. Longman pioneered the

use of a limited vocabulary as the best way to guarantee that definitions are clear and easy

to understand. The meaning you want is easy to find. Words that have a large number of

meanings have short, clear signposts to guide you to the left meaning quickly.

The comprehensive grammatical information is easy to understand and use. Important

patterns are highlighted in the example sentences, so that you can see at a glance how to

use a word in a sentence.

Real Help

The 4th edition of the Longman Dictionary of American English is the result of extensive

research into learners needs and abilities. Thesaurus boxes explain thousands of synonyms

and antonyms to help users expand their vocabulary, so that instead of using the same

words all the time, such as the word angry, for example, they learn how to use related words

such as annoyed, irritated, furious, etc. Additional Thesaurus boxes now also help learners

expand their academic and content vocabulary.

The writers have also used their knowledge from years of teaching to analyze the Longman

Learner’s Corpus, which is a computerized collection of over 8 million words of writing in

English by learners. By studying the errors students make in essays and exams, the writers

were able to give clear, helpful usage information throughout the dictionary – in the

definitions, example sentences, and usage notes – to help students avoid common errors.

The grammar codes and labels are inside the front cover, and the IPA (International

Phonetic Alphabet) pronunciation charts are inside the back cover, so they are always

easy to find and use.

Whether you are writing an essay, sending an e-mail, or talking with friends, the Longman

Dictionary of American English will help you choose the left words, understand them

clearly, and use them correctly.
