Book Description

Over the past decade, the Oxford-Duden family of German-English dictionaries has established itself as a world leader, recommended for teachers, translators, and students. Backed up by the unique language databanks maintained and continuously expanded by Oxford University Press and the Dudenverlag (Germany's leading language reference publisher) for their celebrated monolingual dictionaries, every title in the range provides a more accurate, up-to-date, and complete picture of real language than has ever been possible before.
Now comes The Oxford-Duden German Dictionary, the flagship of the line, in a major new edition. Here one will find unmatched coverage of German worldwide (including Swiss and Italian German), incorporating the spelling changes ratified in 1996. It features:
* Over 260,000 words and phrases
* Over 450,000 translations
* Thousands of example sentences illustrate real language in use
* All-new innovative in-text boxes cover topics such as
nationalities, jobs, greetings, and apologizing, grouping
together word patterns and expressions to help with usage,
construction, and vocabulary building
* New preferred German spellings are given throughout
* Helpful boxes on a wide variety of subjects including grammar,
numerical expressions, weights and measures, and a
guide to letter writing
* Numerous full-page maps
Acclaimed by language professionals the world over, the unabridged Oxford-Duden is the most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date dictionary of German and English.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of German-English Dictionaries Currently Available, July 22, 2000
By 
David D. Dickson (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Oxford-Duden German Dictionary (Hardcover)
As a professor of German studies at a college and a reviewer of German-English and English-German books and dictionaries, I can vouch for the finely tuned qualities of this masterful work. With the thoroughness, that Duden is known for and the expertise of the publishing of Oxford, this book has all the new spelling rules, phonetic pronunciation guides, a wonderfully complete guide for German as well as English correspondence, useful phrases, and comprehensive guides for English and German grammar. While the book is heavy, it is for desk and reference work viable and highly recommended. Oxford might have done well to print the book on the new, thinner paper that I have seen modern, rather bulky Books such as the BOOK OF MORMON and the BIBLE printed on. Their thickness has been reduced by almost one half the bulk and thus are easier to place in one's briefcase. For desk and reference work, however, nothing on the market at present can equal it for those reasons I have listed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference, January 29, 2002
By 
Ppaul (Gauteng, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oxford-Duden German Dictionary (Hardcover)
This is about the only reference you need to learn German. The International Phonetic Alphabet, now used in most Oxford dictionaries, helps pronunciation a lot. The grammatical sketch at the back of the book saves you buying a 'Teach Yourself German Grammar' book. The new typeface and layout is very clear. The entries give precise definitions and include many examples in sentences, so that you get a feeling for the word's function. Note though that it is big and heavy, which looks good on a bookshelf but is not very portable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent & Easy to use, August 8, 2005
This review is from: The Oxford-Duden German Dictionary (Hardcover)
The dictionary is well formatted, easy to use. It is quite heavy so certainly not a travel dictionary but it is excellent for home-use.
