Collins COBUILD Idioms Dictionary offers in-depth coverage of the most important idioms in English, and provides additional information about how common they are, in which contexts they should be used, what they mean and how to use them. This edition has been revised and updated to provide learners with detailed information on idioms in a language that is easy to understand. The two-color layout means that it is easier than ever for students to find the information they need. Many of the new idioms come from varieties of English spoken all over the world, from Britain to the U.S., from South Africa to Australia. The dictionary also includes helpful cross-references, making finding the idiom you need easy. There is also a self-study exercise section at the back of the book so that students can practice and consolidate what they have learned. The fully-revised thematic index provides learners with the most useful English idioms, organized according to theme, along with real corpus examples. As with all COBUILD products, the Collins Corpus provides thousands of examples. In addition, there are hundreds of fascinating notes on the origins of idioms, which will allow students to gain a fuller understanding of the language.
