Product Description
by Michael Kayser (Author)
This Advanced English-Russian/Russian-English dictionary is intended for translators, interpreters and scholars who are involved in the in-depth study of Russian or English. The vast majority of entries have been underaddressed or maladdressed in lexicons for decades. Take, for example, the simple word "ain't" which invariably receives two or three lines in most reference books. Here you will find over three pages of vivid examples from native Russian speakers which allow for the precise handling of this prickly word. The breadth of this opus is enormous -- from classical and conversational to slang, criminal cant and dialectical. If you haven't been able to find something in middle-of-the-road dictionaries, you may very well find it here. A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND IN THE LISTING FOR VOLUME ONE OF THE DICTIONARY.
