This special combined book and CD-ROM dictionary allows you to obtain the maximum benefits from the text. It focuses on English as it is really used today, informed by currently available evidence and the latest research. The dictionary places the most frequently used meanings of each word first, followed by secondary and technical senses, slang, idioms, and historical and obsolete senses. Relevant guidance on usage, both old and new is provided by "language in use" panels and concise in-text notes. Featuring 350,000 words, phrases, and definitions, this dictionary offers comprehensive coverage of English as it is actually used in the 21st century. In addition, the CD-ROM is packed full of features which help you to find the information you need in seconds.
