Kodansha dictionary

xix, 1178 p. ; 19 cm.

"Kodansha's Communicative English-Japanese Dictionary is the result of almost 15 years of research and development. With over 22,000 entries and 19,000 example sentences and phrases, it is, by far, the most comprehensive and practical dictionary of its kind." "Within the pages of this book are all the words needed for daily and even sophisticated conversation. The entry words and their meanings have been carefully selected so that the most useful English words and their Japanese equivalents are right at the user's fingertips when he or she needs them. The dictionary contains not only frequently used words but also a number of technical terms, new words, and vocabulary related to Japanese culture. It also presents a large number of interjections, idioms, and phrasal verbs - the expressions we use every day and which lie at the very heart of the English language."

"More importantly, though, and what sets this dictionary apart from others, is that it strives to present only natural Japanese equivalents - words that work in day-to-day, real-life conversation. In this way, it is truly communicative. Every one of the equivalents has been rigorously checked and tested by a team of editors, teachers, and translators."--BOOK JACKET.
