The Collins English Dictionary Pro
You will never be lost for words again
Win Anytime, Anywhere Access to 120,000 Words, 6,000 Biographies and Regular Updates Of The Very Latest English Vocabulary.
AMG has teamed up with Collins to give you the opportunity to win the Collins English Dictionary Pro (CED Pro) - the first dictionary available online and via mobile phones and other wireless devices. As well as delivering the full Collins English Dictionary - the definitive reference book of today’s English language - CED Pro also contains a host of new English words which are updated throughout the year.
With CED Pro, searching for words has never been easier. Each of the 120,000 word entries is hyper linked and can be accessed at the click of a button. Following the success of the biographies section in the printed version of the dictionary, Collins has included more than 6000 in the online version, many of which link into UK curriculum subjects. Now you can use your mobile phone to call up the latest details on famous celebrity figures as well as heads of state and key politicians, notable media and arts people and sporting heroes.
With CED Pro you will always be bang up to date with the latest vocabulary as new words are added regularly. It already includes over a hundred words that are still on editors’ desks waiting for inclusion in the next printed version.
Among the words that have recently been included are:
House-bling: ostentatious lights and other Christmas decorations on the outside of a house
Four-eyes principle: the requirement that a business transaction be approved by at least two individuals
Kylie effect: the increased awareness of breast cancer caused by the publicity surrounding its diagnosis in Kylie Minogue
Tanorexic: obsessed with maintaining a permanent deep tan
To keep up to speed with the world’s biggest and fastest growing language, Collin’s lexicographers have devised a pioneering tool called ‘corpus’. This is a two and a half billion word database which receives a constant flow of text from various sources such as newspapers, books, magazines, journals, websites and transcripts of broadcast programmes. This data is then analysed to provide an accurate snapshot of English language in use at any time.
CED Pro is a fantastic source of information as well as a fast and fun way of finding just the right word or phrase anywhere and anytime.
Annual online subscriptions range from £14.99 to £19.99 excluding VAT.
For more information and to download a free 10 day trial go to http://www.collinslanguage.com/
