 GTI Grenville Trading International GmbH A Dictionary of American Idioms Autor: Makkai, Adam More than 8,000 idiomatic words and phrases that are standard in American English are listed with definitions and sample sentences to clarify their meanings. Earlier editions of this A-to-Z dictionary have proved especially helpful to TOEFL and TOEIC test takers, as well as to other students in North America for whom English is their second language. Idioms undergo constant change in every living language, some falling out of use while new words and phrases become part of the standard vocabulary. This new edition takes account of the latest idiomatic changes and presents a solid background to informal American English. Makkai (linguistics, U. Illinois) opens this dictionary with introductions in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. This introduction includes suggestions for how to use the dictionary in concert with other language-learning practices to become facile in American English idioms. The main text of the dictionary is organized for maximum usability, with main entries listed alphabetically, derivative idioms following main entries, cross-references to alternative phrasing, and index entries that direct to all idioms containing certain central words. Part-of-speech labels and usage notes also help English learners to apply idioms correctly. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
