Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary: Based on Webster's Third New International Dictionary (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary<br/><br/>The general vocabulary The vocabulary of the collegiate is intended to meet the needs both of the college student and of the general reader seeking clear and accurate but not encyclopedic information. Every entry and every definition of the previous edition has been' reviewed, and many of them have been revised to incorporate additional, Often new, information or to effect improvements in the former presentation. The definitions are for the most part based on the most recent available information contained in the parent work, webster's third new international dictionary, with such modifications or adaptations as are required by the smaller scope of the collegiate. Wherever they are needed and as freely as possible Within the limitations Of the space, phrases and sentences have been given that illustrate the definitions. This collegiate follows the practice Of its predecessors in including only a limited selection of slang, dialect, and Obsolete terms and meanings. Since behind the present work are all the vast resources of the third new international, containing some vocabulary entries, the problem is one of selection of terms to be included here. Usefulness is the criterion.
