About this title

Review:

'This dictionary is the most complete guide to the briar patch of the phrasal verb that I have yet seen. It is engagingly thorough - formal, informal, slang, taboo, British, American, even Australian - all are included, My attempts to think up a verb which I could not find proved a failure.' EA Journal, Vol 16, Australia, 1998

'This dictionary will be a source of enlightenment for the many students who struggle to make sense of this very common feature of everyday English ... It is easy to consult and easy to make sense of.' EL Gazette, 1997
