The £65 hardback Oxford Arabic Dictionary was published in August 2014, and is also available online. This resource includes the latest vocabulary from computing, business, the media, and the arts, across both languages.
The Arabic-English and English-Arabic dictionary is designed for both Arabic and English native speakers. Based on real modern evidence and computational analysis of hundreds of millions of words of both English and Modern Standard Arabic (the standardised variety of Arabic used in writing and in most formal speech), the dictionary boasts more than 130,000 words and phrases and 200,000 translations.
It features:
- Over 80,000 collocates and meaning indicators guide you to the right translation
- Over 70,000 fully translated example sentences and idioms taken from language in real use
- The most commonly used sense of each word is shown first
- The Arabic-English section of the dictionary is organised by roots, which are listed alphabetically
- Vowels in all Arabic text help non-Arabic speakers in pronunciation and comprehension
- Tables of Arabic verb conjugations, full forms of Arabic numbers, dates, and years, and irregular English verbs
