Synopsis

With approximately 180,000 words and phrases and 290,000 translations, this dictionary amalgamates and updates The Oxford English-Russian Dictionary and The Oxford Russian-English Dictionary . New material includes more than 5000 words and phrases, reflecting changes in both languages since the appearance of the parent works, and the transcription of every English headword into the International Phonetic Alphabet. The work includes a critical guide to the pronunciation of the English entries - greatly increasing the work's usefulness to native Russian speakers. Typographically enhanced to offer ease of consultation, this is a beneficial reference for students, translators and business people alike.
