Features: The "FLTRP·Jianhong English-Chinese Multi-functional Associative Dictionary" is a forthcoming reference book originally titled "English Roots, Etymology, Word Formation, and Associative Dictionary," edited by the renowned English professor Wang Yaoting of Nanjing Agricultural University and proofread by Li Sheng. Published by Jianhong Publishing House in Taiwan in 2003, this medium-sized English-Chinese dictionary is in large 32nd format, single-color printed, and contains approximately 3,000 characters. Each entry includes the essential content of a general English-Chinese dictionary, such as phonetic transcriptions, part-of-speech markings, definitions, and example sentences. What sets this dictionary apart from ordinary English-Chinese dictionaries is its unique word formation and associative content, as well as its organization. The compilers expand the semantic and morphological field of a word, fully leveraging association to create a broader relational field. As a result, the dictionary provides a wealth of linguistic information and diverse language expressions from a wider and deeper level, offering readers more and broader choices in language application. Each entry in the dictionary uses both American and British phonetic transcriptions; word formation annotations include morphological structures and semantic evolution; example sentences are easy to understand; and six associative methods (word formation association, etymological association, synonym association, antonym association, near-synonym association, and extended association) are adopted to broaden readers' perspectives. This dictionary is suitable for college and high school students, English teachers, translators, and English enthusiasts.
