Author Description

This major new dictionary from Oxford contains over 350,000 words and phrases. The dictionary was compiled using a corpus of 10 million words of English and 10 million words of French, collected from a huge variety of sources, including tape-recordings of spoken langauge and extreacts from newpapers and novels. This meant that all possible translations and nuances of use could be constantly checked. Thus the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary reflects the use of the French language as it is used by native French speakers. It offers unmatched coverage of modern French, the most accurate guidance on selecting the right translation, and a wealth of helpful hints on usage. With all this on a single CD-ROM, professionals and students need never struggle with translation again.
