About this title

Review:

I have always recommended Cobuld dictionaries to my students in the past, and they have usually been very satisfied with the choice. EFL teacher, Dorset I personally find illustrative sentences in Cobuild dictionaries very helpful both to understand the meaning of a word and to learn how to use it correctly. Japanese teacher

From the Back Cover:

A thoroughly updated and revised edition of the renowned Cobuild English Dictionary, designed specifically to meet the needs of advanced learners as well as teachers.

The new 3rd edition of the Collins COBUILD English Dictionary contains all the revolutionary features which made the 2nd edition so successful – all definitions are written in full in simple, natural English, grammatical information is shown clearly and separately and there is additional information on word frequency. In the 3rd edition, as in the 2nd edition, examples are taken from the Bank of English, Collins' unique data bank of the English language. This ensures that all the examples given reflect the way that English is used today. New to the 3rd edition are thousands of new words and meanings, an extensive revision of American coverage and improved definitions and examples. A new design of the page layout makes the text clear and user-friendly.

Collins COBUILD English Dictionary is THE indispensable and authoritative reference work for both learners and teachers of the English language.
