Synopsis

The Oxford-PWN Polish-English English-Polish Dictionary is a unique collaboration between Oxford University Press and Polish Scientific Publishers PWN.

In two beautifully presented volumes consisting of 400,000 words and phrases, and 600,000 translations, it offers up-to-date coverage of today's language, including business, specialist and technical vocabulary, and detailed coverage of idioms, slang, and formal language. It includes thousands of example sentences, based on actual English and Polish usage, which show how the language works in context.

With Polish material taken from the PWN Corpus of Polish, a huge databank of real Polish, and English language material derived from the Oxford English Corpus, a multi-million word databank of real English, this dictionary brings together the authority and expertise of two of the world's major reference publishers.

The result is the most comprehensive English and Polish dictionary available; suitable for university level and beyond, and essential for anyone working between English and Polish.

Review

"The dictionary is easy to navigate. One of the dictionary's best points is its vast semi-specialised terminology. The PWN-OUP dictionary will delight anybody working between the two languages, irrespective of their level of proficiency." * Kasia Pawlowska-Benda, ITI Bulletin *
