Book Description

Acclaimed by language professionals the world over, The Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary leads the way in modern bilingual lexicography. The first ever French dictionary to be entirely compiled based on the statistical evidence of vast electronic databanks of real language, both written and spoken, it is the most comprehensive, reliable, and up-to-date dictionary of French and English available today. The previous edition was described by the Independent as 'revolutionary'. This major new edition provides new up-to-date vocabulary, a new open design, in-text cultural notes on many aspects of the French-speaking world, from political and educational systems, to festivals and national newspapers, as well as a revised correspondence section that provides many model letters, extensive information on business correspondence via email and the internet. It is the most up-to-date and complete French dictionary of its size - a must for any serious student of the French language.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SUPERLATIVE DICTIONARY, Dec 15 2001
By 
ernest a. dupont (Pembroke, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oxford Hachette French Dictionary: With FREE SpeakFrench pronunciation CD-ROM (available to UK and Europe only) (Hardcover)
The OXFORD HACHETTE bilingual dictionary is a superlative work. I am using the 1997 edition and it serves me well as a language enthusiast and a translator. It provides many, many different examples of translations, always easy to find and in the idiomatic language. In the French-English section for instance, the development given under the word TEMPS is just oustanding. One learns new ways of saying things: "Ils sont cruels, témoin le massacre de tout un village." - "They are cruel, as evidenced by the massacre of an entire village." This was interesting: "They have been badly serviced by their advisors" -"Les conseillers ne leur ont pas été trÃs utiles." The various encyclopedic features such as the subject and grammar boxes are very useful. One would have liked a more North American approach, or even Canadian, but that does not distract from the overall quality. It is interesting to find a word such as DÃPANNEUR (convenience store), while one cannot find GUIGNOLÃE or BANC DE NEIGE. It is a modern dictionary, with equivalents given for email (one slight mistake there... MESSAGE PRÃCÃDENT given as NEXT) and such things. Verbs, model letters, etc. One would have liked the use of colour, but the dictionary is still well presented. I have used the Harrap's Shorter and I have the Collins Robert on CD-ROM. This is equal to any of them, it is perhaps even superior. Do not hesitate to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, Dec 17 2003

This review is from: The Oxford Hachette French Dictionary: With FREE SpeakFrench pronunciation CD-ROM (available to UK and Europe only) (Hardcover)
More definitions than you will ever need. Many examples so that you can understand how each word is used. The examples also bring out subtleties of meaning that should help you avoid making a fool of yourself. Many insets and extras. So thorough that you won't have to spend money on an army of books for conjugations, idioms etc. Don't get me wrong, this is not a complete stand-alone guide to the French language (who could lift it), but it is a damned good start.

Five stars means that I don't see how this could be any better.

This review is from: Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary (Hardcover)
The vocabulary is very full and up to date. The new layout with the headwords in colour is excellent. The fuller section on effective communication is also excellent. So the new edition builds very effectively on the good features of the earlier version.
The dictionary is a must for any serious student of the French language.
