The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary, 2nd Edition - by Yuri I Shevchuk (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"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.

Includes:

- Over 9,000 entries
that comprise the most frequently used Ukrainian lexicon

word combinations

- 80,000
illustrative examples, including common Ukrainian idioms and their English
equivalents

Review Quotes

"Yuri Shevchuk's Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary is a highly welcome addition to Ukrainian lexicology, the first of its kind to present the most frequently found combinations of Ukrainian words in a modern setting with fluid, pitch-perfect English translations. It will be a major reference for students learning Ukrainian, for travelers, and for advanced speakers of Ukrainian, who will profit from its wide-ranging morphological, syntactic and lexical detail."

"The publication of this Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary comprises a monumental event in Ukrainian lexicology. . . . The sheer abundance and quality information in Shevchuk's entries should make his dictionary a primary source that translators and learners should go to in seeking translations of Ukrainian words and expressions. Shevchuk's collocation dictionary, the first of its kind for any Slavic language, should also serve as a useful template for future compilers of similarly constructed dictionaries for the Slavic world. . . . a remarkable contribution to Ukrainian lexicology that will have meaningful impact for decades to come."
