This book will help readers of Spanish in their understanding of current
vocabulary, illustrating the language used not only in newspapers: the more
general focus is the language of the press and the media. The vocabulary and
expressions in this book are found in a range of both written communications
(journals, periodicals, magazines, information brochures and leaflets) and also on
television. Several semi-specialized areas relating to the legal sphere, banking and
finance, administration and commerce, and politics have been included, as well as
colloquial and slang terms or idioms which have become widely used in the
media. Every entry is featured in a meaningful context.
It therefore provides information about words or terms that normally would have to be consulted in several specialist dictionaries.
Readership: From A-level and International Baccalaureate students to students following postgraduate courses, and on a more general level, anyone interested in contemporary Spanish. Technical translators.
