Настоящее, четвёртое издание Oxford Russian Dictionary продолжает традиции предыдущих изданий Словаря. В новом издании получили отражение наиболее значимые изменения в лексике русского и английского языков, происшедшие за последние годы и коснувшиеся, прежде всего, таких динамично развивающихся сфер жизнедеятельности, как информационные технологии, финансы и торговля, медицина и популярная культура. Важными новшествами Словаря стали статьи-врезки о культурных реалиях Великобритании, США и России, а также образцы написания писем, в т. ч. и электронных, и резюме на обоих языках. В новом издании Словаря тщательным образом учитываются новейшие тенденции английского правописания, в частности постепенный отказ от употребления дефиса в составных словах. Специально для русскоязычной аудитории в Словарь включены краткое руководство по английскому произношению, свод основных правил английской грамматики и таблица неправильных глаголов. В помощь англоязычным пользователям предлагаются краткое руководство по русскому произношению, памятка по спряжению русских глаголов и глоссарий грамматических терминов. |
