Book Description

1998 8424919734 978-8424919733 2nd
The dictionary of choice by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Moliner wrote, with her bare hands, the most complete, most useful, most diligent and most amusing dictionary of the Castilian language . In this updated and revised 3rd edition dictionary, we find important updates to the content and structure that allow for an easier use. Most notable are the 90,000+ entries, 190,000 meanings and sub-meanings, an updated block of synonyms, revised botanical and zoological appendix and the inclusion of additional appendixes. It also includes typographical changes to help during the reading or consulting process.

This new edition has over 12,000 new entries compared to the last one and it is due to the cultural changes that the world has gone through. New entries like the words internet , e-mail , blog , chat , and computer are examples of the need for a revised version of such an important work in the Spanish language. Even though the dictionary is based on Spanish from Spain, it is filled with new words adapted from the English language.

Even though María Moliner based her research on the Real Academia Espanola Dictionary, she enriched the Diccionario del uso del espanol with terms used on an everyday basis in the streets or in Media. Hence, it includes entries and expressions that are not found in the Real Academia Espanola Dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pensado y diseñado para escritores, es el mejor en español., May 19, 1998
By A Customer
Es una hazaña lexicográfica, pues permite encontrar palabras que uno no sabe que existen. Se puede navegar en él casi como en el ciberespacio. Permite además crear neologismos perfectamente legítimos. Aporta gran cantidad de información gramatical con ejemplos tomados siempre de la lengua viva, así como formas de construcción y pautas de pronunciación para extranjeros. Incluye revisiones críticas de los criterios de la Real Academia. No es perfecto -sin embargo-, por sus omisiones, pero es más consistente, más rico y más confiable que el de la Real Academia. Si usted trabaja con palabras, "this is a must".

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional dictionary, November 22, 2002
By 
Ingenioso Hidalgo (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
I knew it would be a good dictionary, but not this good. Given that no dictionary can purport to be complete, this one surely tries. It is amazing how comprehensive it is and yet so easy to understand. I was blown away with the very first entry:

"a
1 f. Primera letra del alfabeto. Se pronuncia con los labios muy abiertos, y los dientes separados aproximadamente 1 cm; la lengua, con el dorso elevado hacia la línea de separación entre el paladar duro y el velo del paladar, y rozando con la punta los dientes inferiores, mientras los bordes siguen los molares inferiores. En la escala de altura, la «a» ocupa el lugar medio, después de la «i» y la «e» y antes de la «o» y la «u». Su nombre es su propio sonido. Letra griega correspondiente, «alfa»."

It follows this with three other "a" entries, a total of 31 definitions with examples, a few colloquial expressions and a usage notes section.

This is my very first CD ROM dictionary, so I don't know if its features are standard or not. It has a very quick word search engine that works very much like the help feature in many programs. As you would expect it lists entries in alphabetical order, but curiously enough, by last letter as well. It has a deep grammar section, cross-referencing capabilities and also suggestions if a word search comes up empty. Though I've yet to incorporate it in my word processor, I've read it can be accessed this way.

Now about the price. I purchased the 2nd edition online and paid considerably less (...) by having it shipped directly from Spain. This is a wonderful dictionary. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diccionario del uso del espanol, March 7, 2000
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Si se pudiera hablar de un diccionario de diccionarios de la lengua espanola, ese es precisamente el de Maria Moliner, quien dedico su vida a la realizacion de una obra capital de referencia, no solo para los hispanoparlantes, sino tambien para todos aquellos que se acerquen a la lengua de Cervantes y Quevedo. Una adquisicion indispensable para toda biblioteca.
