This Dictionary has been produced to help students of English understand the words and phrases that make up the complex fabric of English-speaking life and culture.
The full text of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is the basis for the book, but we have included a further 15,000 people, places, events, and institutions in order to provide advanced learners of English with a full reference resource in one book.
This is because we believe that when students come across references to Rodeo Drive, triffids, Reuters, PSBR, the Teamsters' Union or Clarence Darrow in their reading, they should be able to look them up in their dictionary just as they would other, more general language words.
The range of words and phrases included here should help students extend the breadth of their understanding of English, but information is also provided to increase the depth of their understanding.
The connotations of some of the items entered here, many of them for the first time in a reference book, are often essential to the full understanding of a passage. For example, what associations do native-speakers of English naturally have with items such as Rolls Royce or the National Enquirer? It is surely necessary to understand the reputation for high quality associated with the name Rolls Royce in order to understand a sentence like Our company provides a Rolls Royce service, and so this information is clearly stated in the definition.
The lexicographic work that has gone into the creation of this book is based on the analysis of authentic language as found in the many books and newspapers from Britain and America included in the Longman Corpus Network, an extensive resource of computerized language data collected over many years at Longman. The use of this data in our dictionaries ensures that the content is both up-to-date and accurate.
We very much hope that the understanding of language by advanced learners of English will be greatly enhanced by the use of the new Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture.
