During this period of rapid globalization, as America looks East-ward and expands its horizons and alliances, educational departments and researchers seek respected guides to aid translation and general communication. The following four titles, organized from handy pocket reference to weighty but comprehensive research tool, deliver just what the researcher requires.rnWhile only Chinese to English, this dictionary contains 4800 of the language's most frequently used words and boasts inclusion of the 3000 needed for Levels A and B of the government-sponsored Chinese Proficiency Test. Li (Concise Chinese Dictionary) opens with valuable pronunciation charts and a concise user guide for those confronting a new alphabet. Each entry indicates the word's part of speech and demonstrates its use in a complete sentence. A word finder index and a series of thematic lists that contain common words, their Chinese spellings, and pronunciations make the guide a vital reference. Recommended for language collections.
