Authoritative and up to date, this third edition of the Pocket Oxford-Duden German Dictionary covers over 90,000 words and phrases, and 120,000 translations of contemporary German and English, with brand-new words in each language. More than just a dictionary, it also includes sections on Grammar, Culture, and Communication. The grammar supplement provides full information on all the key points of German and English grammar, including verb tables for quick reference. Language is now studied in the context of its culture, so the existing culture section has been revised and expanded to offer lively and useful information on life in the German-speaking world--everything from political institutions to how weddings are celebrated. The communication supplement gives help with all types of correspondence, including examples of letters, emails, and CVs, and help with text messaging. The Pocket Oxford-Duden German Dictionary is the perfect reference for student and adult learners needing an affordable, portable dictionary.
Oxford University Press (OUP), a department of the University of Oxford, is the largest university press in the world. The university became involved in printing around 1480, becoming a major source of Bibles, prayer books and scholarly works. It took on the Oxford English Dictionary project in the late 19th century, and in order to meet the ever-rising costs of the work, it expanded into publishing children's books, school text books, music, journals, and the World's Classics series. OUP is committed to major financial support of the university and to furthering the university's excellence in scholarship, research and education through its publishing.
