The Longman Dictionary of American English is unique because it has been written using the Longman Defining Vocabulary. Other dictionaries use high-level, idiomatic language in their definitions which forces students to look up the defining words as well as the words they're looking up in the first place. Only the Longman Dictionary of American English uses a defining vocabulary comprised of the 2,000 words that make up the intermediate-level student's most frequent vocabulary. Longman's lexicographers analyze the written work of intermediate students of English and the language used in their textbooks, and no other dictionary offers definitions written precisely to the needs of intermediate students. Included are highlighted collocations and simplified grammar codes to show you how to use words accurately in context, and the all-new Usage Notes, based on analysis of real student writing to help you avoid common errors. The Study Notes explain key language points, such as prepositions and adjective word order, and the new easy-to-see Signposts get you to the right definition quickly. This new edition of the Longman Dictionary of American English has been completely updated using Longman's unique, comprehensive database of spoken and written American English.
