"Shevchuk has not only produced an infinitely helpful
resource for anyone interested in Ukrainian, but given us one of the most
breathtaking scholarly achievements in Slavonic Studies in many years. It is a
monument to the Ukrainian language and a watershed in its development on the
global stage.”
— Rory Finnin, University of
Cambridge
The
Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary describes the
core Ukrainian lexicon as it is used in contemporary speech. This dictionary
has no precedents in Ukrainian and Slavic bilingual lexicography and combines
elements of six types of dictionaries: translation, collocation, learner’s,
thesaurus, phraseological and encyclopedic dictionaries.
This updated
second edition of the dictionary includes important revisions, new entries, and
a new English-Ukrainian Word Index that will help readers
quickly find word entries. The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary is
a must-have for Ukrainian language learners of all levels (elementary,
intermediate, advanced and superior), Ukrainian language instructors and
instructors of theory and practice of translation, Ukrainian-English and
English-Ukrainian translators and interpreters, comparative linguists,
lexicographers, researchers, business people, journalists, and anyone with an
interest in the Ukrainian language. It is an irreplaceable resource for Ukrainian-speakers
who study English and native speakers of Ukrainian who wish to perfect and
enrich their Ukrainian.
