This new edition of the flagship Collins Cobuild dictionary for advanced learners of English, gives up-to-date coverage of today's English, and transforms the learner's dictionary from an occasional reference into the best possible learning resource.

It covers all the words, phrases and idioms that students need to learn and master to be able to speak and write effective English, and gives extensive help with grammar, including grammar patterns for many of the examples, and including a grammar reference in the supplement. A wide range of vocabulary-building features, many of them with full-colour illustrations, help with learning new words.

The dictionary also includes an Activity Guide, which gives exercises in dictionary use; a Writer's Handbook, which gives guidance on spelling, punctuation, letter-writing and CVs; a Speaker's Handbook, which gives advice on the best set phrases to use in key situations; Text Messaging Abbreviations and Emoticons; Defining Vocabulary; Geographical Places and Nationalities; Academic Word List.

This edition comes with a pin code which gives access to myCobuild.com.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Through a collaborative initiative, Collins COBUILD and Heinle are co-publishing a dynamic new line of learners' dictionaries offering unparalleled pedagogy and learners resources. The first Collins COBUILD dictionary was published in 1987, thanks in part to John Sinclair, one of the very first modern corpus linguists who personally oversaw the creation of the Bank of English(TM). Every COBUILD dictionary is based on the Bank of English(TM), a huge electronic database of both written and spoken language, which today contains over 650 million words.
