Compact and structure-oriented, this Chinese-English dictionary is part of a two-volume set developed for elementary students of Chinese. Along with its companion volume, an English-Chinese dictionary, this reference was devised for use in high schools and colleges to facilitate both comprehension and reproduction of the Chinese language. Compiled by an expert lexicographer, these dictionaries draw upon the best traditions in Chinese- and English-language learning, with particular emphasis on syntactic structure, functional elements such as particles, and idiomatic expressions. Students can rely on these meticulously prepared and scholastically sound volumes as friendly guides along the well-trodden roads of language instruction. Unabridged republication of the edition originally published by Seton Hall University Press, South Orange, New Jersey, 1967. English-Chinese edition also available; product number 42478-2.
