The Oxford 3000™
The keywords of the Oxford 3000have
美国mba课程been carefully lected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study becau of their importance and ufulness. The lection is bad on three criteria.
The words which occur most frequently in English are included, bad on the information in the British National Corpus and the Oxford Corpus Collection. (A corpus is an electronically held collection of written or spoken texts, often consisting of hundreds of millions of words.)However, being frequent in the corpus alone is not enough for a word to qualify as a keyword:it may be that the word is ud very frequently,but only in a narrowly defined area, such as newspapers or scientific articles. In order to avoid including the restricted words, we
include as keywords only tho words which are frequent across a range of different types of text.In ot
her words, keywords are both frequent and ud in a variety of contexts. In addition, the list includes some very important words which happen not to be ud frequently, even though they are very familiar to most urs of English.The include, for example, words for parts of the body, words ud in travel, and words which are uful for explaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something.The words were identified by consulting a panel of over venty experts in the fields of teaching and language study.
The words of the Oxford 3000are shown in the main ction of the dictionary in larger print,
and with a key symbol
immediately following. On the CD-ROM the keywords are shown in red. The most uful parts of the entries (particular parts of speech, meanings,phrasal verbs and idioms) are marked with a small key symbol. The entries for keywords often have extra information in the form of more examples of u, special notes explaining synonyms or related words, or helpful
illustrations. This means that the keywords make an excellent starting point for expanding your vocabulary. With most keywords, there is far more to learn about them than the first meaning in the entry: often the words have many meanings, have a large family of words
d
电影排行榜2012前十名derived from them, or are ud in a variety of patterns. All of this means that each one of the keywords repays clo study.
The list covers British and American English. It is arranged to emphasize the connections between words, so that words which are very cloly related (including adverbs ending in -ly and opposites starting with un-)are grouped together. Some basic phras are also included.Proper names (names of people, places, etc.beginning with a capital letter )and numbers are not included in the main list.
A parate list of words which are important for language study, but less important in everyday life, follows the main list. Knowing the words will help you to understand more of the informa-tion given in the entries, especially regarding the word’s grammar and register (whether it is for-mal, informal, etc.).
In order to make the definitions in this
dictionary easy to understand, we have written them using the keywords of the Oxford 3000.All words ud in normal definition text are keywords, or are on the list of language study terms. Numbe
rs and proper names are also ud in definitions. When it has been necessary to u a specialist term which is not in the Oxford 3000,the word is shown in small capitals ,and in blue on the CD-ROM. If you do not know the meaning of this word, look it up in the dictionary: it will help you to understand the definition that you are interested in, and will probably be a uful word to learn
