Features: The supplement to the Longman Contemporary English Dictionary is an excellent introductory textbook for learning and studying new English words. The supplement forms a complete unit, facilitating focused learning and research. At the beginning of the supplement, there is an introduction written by Jean Aitchison, discussing the emergence and formation of new English words, which is highly informative and serves as a guide for studying new words. In summary, learning and studying new English words offers great benefits and is also very engaging. To conclude my introduction to the supplement to the Longman Contemporary English Dictionary, let me borrow the remarks of British linguist and lexicographer Eric Partridge from the 1960s on a new words dictionary of that time: Any dictionary of new... words is worthy of respect and attention. This particular dictionary is worthy of more. It should be used, consulted, read. (Any dictionary of new words is worthy of respect and attention. This particular dictionary is worthy of more.
