The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary, 2nd Edition

"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.
