Welcome again to the updated and improved third edition of the
Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. the dictionary comes
with a CD-ROM attached, so you can hear the sound of the
pronunciations and use the dictionary with your computer when
word processing. This has proved to be a huge success with users.
Now
we have added a New Words supplement. Students and teachers of
English want to keep up to date with the latest words in
English, and in recent years there has been an explosion in new
vocabulary from the Internet, from science and business, and
from the language of youth culture.
There are two core
features of a dictionary in terms of which its degree of
excellence and achievement must be measured:
As
regards coverage, readers have to be assured that the words they
need to understand and use are included, and that such inclusion
reflects up to date occurrence in material from a wide range of
English- speaking countries and from sources dealing with a wide
range of subject matter. the subject matter must embrace
technology and scholarship as well as sport, leisure, and social
activity, and the sources must include not only the printed
record and its contemporary teletext surrogates but also the
ubiquitous oral language of everyday experience.
