Published in 1994, The Oxford Spanish Dictionary, Unabridged Edition, has been hailed by translators, writers, and educators as the finest Spanish-English dictionary available. Now comes the New International Edition of The Oxford Spanish Dictionary, more comprehensive and up to date than any other dictionary in this price range. Based on its parent volume, this conveniently sized dictionary boasts the same superb features as the original. The result of more than ten years of research, the New International has been compiled from a unique electronic database of current language, reflecting the efforts of a team of lexicographers from the United States, Latin America, Great Britain, and Spain, who painstakingly investigated vocabulary, meanings, and grammatical usage in their particular regions. The result is a work of unprecedented authority that accurately reflects how both languages are spoken and written in all contexts - from literature to informal speech to technical and scientific publications - and in all locales.
