Chinese-English Dictionary by Defrancis
This dictionary, also available in a pocket edition, ushers in a new era in Chinese lexicography. The first strictly alphabetically ordered and Pinyin computerized dictionary, it offers the simplest and quickest way to look up a term whose pronunciation is known. User-friendly radical and stroke indexes are provided for those cases when pronunciation of a term is not known. Each entry provides Chinese characters, part of speech, environment (area and level of usage), definition in English, and, possibly, examples. An innovative typographical format packs more than 71,400 entries into a handy, portable size without any sacrifice of legibility.
DeFrancis, John: - John DeFrancis (1911-2009) was a legendary sinologist, linguist, and educator. His many works - the landmark ABC Chinese-English Dictionary and his myth-busting The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy among them - changed perceptions of Mandarin and the way it was taught.
