ADVANCED ENGLISH-RUSSIAN/RUSSIAN-ENGLISH DICTIONARY HARDBACK IBD

Sinopse

This large-format, two-volume Advanced Eng-Rus/Rus-Eng Dictionary is one of the most comprehensive specialty dictionaries to ever hit the market. Each entry attempts to offer a fresh look at handling the translation of obstreperous words and phrases while offering thousands of examples from native speaking sources. The scope of this lexicon is as broad as the Volga -- from street slang to classical, from criminal cant to drug lingo. Special attention has been paid to a multitude of words which have been woefully underaddressed or maladdressed for decades. Most dictionaries devote two or three lines to the word 'ain?t'. Here you will find over three pages of utterances by native speakers of Russian providing new insight into tackling this and other mercurial words and expressions. 'Ain?t no way that?s so!' -- '?????? ?? ????? ????!' 'I ain?t got no rights here!' -- '? ???? ??? ??????? ?????? ???!'
