From the Publisher: The Oxford-Paravia Italian Dictionary boasts more than 700,000 words, phrases, and translations-far and away the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage available. The dictionary offers superlative guidance on the general, scientific, literary, and technical vocabulary of contemporary Italian and English. Moreover, entries feature helpful illustrative sentences, which are carefully selected to highlight the full range of meanings and typical contexts. The dictionary also provides in-text boxes that provide extensive help with difficult points of grammar and usage, including guidance on key constructions and complementation, plus vocabulary building panels for extra information on the seasons, numbers, sports, and other topics. The unsurpassed range of this dictionary-along with the extensive vocabulary and usage notes throughout-make it an essential reference work for all serious students of Italian, as well as translators and language professionals. |
