The new LDOCE is a magnificent culmination of innovative energetic research along with computational techniques that are married to well-honed educational and lexicographical skills. It builds on the vital experience of earlier editions and incorporates a host of new features – such as the extra wealth of information on collocations (just glance for a moment at the entry for the word pace and its ‘collocation box’). And everything in the printed dictionary can be extensively followed up in the accompanying CD-ROM.
