Based on the highly-acclaimed Oxford Spanish Dictionary, described in the Times Literary Supplement as 'indispensable for all serious Hispanists', this dictionary provides students at intermediate level with an authoritative, up-to-date guide to world Spanish.
It is the only concise Spanish dictionary to present the full wealth of Spanish from both sides of the Atlantic, with coverage of 24 varieties of the language as it is written and spoken throughout the Spanish-speaking world.
Thousands of real, authentic example sentences are given, which are carefully selected to illustrate the full range of meanings and typical contexts. A guide to e-mail and the Internet highlights a very modern aspect of Spanish culture, and there is up-to-date information on the capital city, currency, size, population, climate, and chief exports, of all the Spanish speaking countries in the world.
Carol Styles Carvajal and Jane Horwood are highly experienced bilingual lexicographers.
