The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Spanish and English Dictionary (English and Spanish Edition)

About this book

Now available in paperback editions The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Dictionaries provide parallel English and foreign word lists containing 29 000 items for each language. Based on the premise that pictures can more clearly convey certain kinds of information these dictionaries present a list of vocabulary relating to a subject together with a picture illustrating that subject. Each double-page spread links the words by number to the picture situation drawn from everyday life; 384 sections cover a broad range of subjects in the fields of science medicine technology industry commerce and arts and leisure including astronomy automobiles swimming supermarkets nuclear energy nightclubs and much more. Both English and foreign words appear on the same page for easy use. The dictionaries also provide fully alphabetized indices in both languages which refer the reader not only to the various subjects and contexts in which a word is used but also to the correct translation and vocabulary of the entire subject. An essential reference for general readers students translators travelers and business people The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Dictionaries serves as an invaluable supplement to other foreign language guides. The new editions featured below have been completely updated and revised to include the most recent innovations in science and technology and to offer increased coverage of all major fields of reference.
