Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners (2nd Edition)

The second edition of the Macmillan English Dictionary contains a wealth of new material, while building on the innovative features that won it two prestigious awards.
It is specially designed to help learners to understand English, use English and be more aware of how English works.

Find meanings, pronunciations, synonyms, collocations, idioms as well as images, videos and sound effects. Browse BuzzWords and the crowdsourced Open Dictionary. Improve your English with games, quizzes and helpful resources for teachers and students.

The most frequent 7,500 words in English – the ideal vocabulary size for an advanced learner – are printed in red, graded with stars, and explained with extra detail about how you should use them.

This second edition includes:

• Hundreds of up-to-date words (satnav, greenwash, carbon trading, adspend, cyberlaw, geoeconomics)
• Thousands of collocations, synonyms and antonyms
• Clearly labelled subject-specific vocabulary (equity capital, faultline, heritage language, link rot, culture medium, data compression)
