Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English information
Advanced learner's dictionary
The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE), first published by Longman in 1978,[1] is an advanced learner's dictionary, providing definitions using a restricted vocabulary, helping non-native English speakers understand meanings easily. It is available in four configurations:
Printed book
Premium online access
Printed book plus premium online access
Reduced online version with no access charge (called "free" but technically "gratis": the license is still proprietary)
The dictionary is currently in its sixth edition. The premium website was revised in 2014 and 2015. It now offers over a million corpus examples (exceeding the paper version's), and includes sound files for every word, 88,000 example sentences, and various tools for study, teaching, examinations and grammar. The 9000 Most Important English Words to Learn have been highlighted via the Longman Communication 9000.
The free online version was updated in 2008 and offers search (with spelling assistance), definitions, collocations, and many examples and illustrations.
