Opis

The only up-to-date frequency dictionary of Spanish currently available, A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish is an invaluable tool for all learners of Spanish that provides a list of the 5,000 most commonly used words in the language. Based on a twenty million word corpus evenly divided between spoken, fiction and non-fiction texts from both Spain and Latin America, the dictionary provides a detailed frequency-based list, as well as alphabetical and part-of-speech indexes to ensure maximum ease of access to the information and efficiency of use. All entries in the rank frequency list feature the English equivalent, a sample sentence and, where applicable, an indication of major register variation. The dictionary also contains thirty thematically organised lists of frequently used words on a variety of topics, such as animals, weather, materials, and family terms. Focusing on the words that are most often encountered in 'real world' conversation and texts, A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish is an engaging and highly useful resource enabling students of all levels to get the most out of their study of Spanish vocabulary.
