Inhalt: | The work is the only dictionary of synonyms for German idiomatic expressions. The idioms are accessible in a twofold way, either via a systematic section of semantic fields or an alphabetical record. The alphabetical entries, in turn, refer to the semantic fields so that the full contexts of meaning and synonymy are immediately available. The dictionary is an essential reference work for everyone who requires a versatile idiomatic style and an in-depth knowledge of contemporary German (writers, journalists, translators, foreign learners etc.). The new edition now includes a comprehensive, all new scholarly introduction exploring the close connection between idiomology and synonymy. Hans Schemann, Portugal. |
