Based on the highly acclaimed Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary, described by the Independent as `revolutionary', this dictionary provides an authoritative guide to French language and culture. The result of ground-breaking developments in bilingual dictionary-making, it is compiled entirely from the evidence of large electronic text collections of French literature and language.
Special entries cover topics such as numbers, nationalities, measurements, games and sports, and forms of address.
