Foreword
The Oxford-Duden German Dictionary is the product of nearly ten years of joint
work by two of the world’s foremost dictionary publishers, Oxford University
Press and the Dudenredaktion of the Bibliographisches Institut, Mannheim.
Members of the editorial team were based in their own countries and thus in
constant contact with their own language, making use of the unparalleled data¬
bases maintained and continually expanded by the two publishers for their
celebrated native-speaker dictionaries such as the Concise Oxford Dictionary
and Das Grosse Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache. German and English
editors met regularly in order to discuss the text in detail, ensure consistency,
and achieve precise meshing together of the two languages.
The vocabulary is up to date, and regional language has been extensively
covered. Meanings are precisely classified and differentiated to guide the reader
to the correct translation; general translations have been carefully chosen
for maximum usefulness; many phrases and sentences are translated in their
entirety where guidance is needed on style, usage, or word order. Extensive
appendices give help with grammar, punctuation, letter writing, and numerical
expressions such as those for time and money.
This is the first bilingual dictionary ever to be produced by a team based in both
language areas. We are confident that it will make a significant contribution in
an age when the language barrier is coming to be the only one remaining
between nations of the European Community, and that it will meet the needs
of translators, business people, teachers, and secondary-school, high-school,
college, and university students in the 1990s.
