Each double page of the dictionary contains a list of the vocabulary of a subject together with a picture illustrating this vocabulary. The layout of the illustrations and the text will be particularly useful to the learner. There are certain kinds of information which can be conveyed more readily and clearly by pictures than by definitions and ex¬ planations alone: an illustration will complement the simple trans¬ lation by helping the reader to visualize the object denoted by the word and to form an impression of the way in which objects function in their own technical neld or in the everyday life of English-speaking countries. The Japanese text was prepared by the English Language Teaching Department of Oxford University Press, Tokyo, with the assistance of Japanese specialists, whose names appear overleaf. Numerous modifications of the text and illustrations of the original work have been carried out, especially regarding the depiction of everyday objects and situations, in order to allow greater scope for the treatment of these objects and situations in the context of English-speaking countries. The English text was produced by the German Section of the Oxford University Press Dictionary Department in cooperation with the Dudenredaktion of the Bibliographisches Institut, Mannheim, and with the assistance of various British companies, institutions, and specialists.
