for. As a bonus for creative writers and fans of word games, a special supplement, the Word Lovers’
Miscellany, brings together themed lists, figures of speech and much more.
An ideal companion to The Chambers Dictionary, The Chambers Thesaurus has proved to be

Chambers’ brand-new bilingual range is a perfect complement to our highly acclaimed English dictionaries
and study aids.
01235 400580
Our highly skilled bilingual editorial team has vast experience in working with language as well as an in-depth
understanding of the difficulties of foreign-language learning. Using cutting-edge editorial tools, we have
created a range of dictionaries and language-learning guides to meet the needs of every user, from the new
learner to the advanced university student and language professional. With ultra-reliable, up-to-date content,
exciting features and modern, eye-catching design, the Chambers bilingual range is an essential resource for

01235 400454
features with its English counterpart:
authoritative yet accessible books
which reflect our passion for
language in all its diversity; a blend
of modern and traditional perfectly
encapsulated in the existing
Chambers design.
We have retained the key features
of this design for our bilingual range
by using our famous red spine on
every title, featuring a selection of
colourful, evocative words on the
covers of our dictionaries and using
engaging, quirky images on our
schools and slang titles.

Italian
German
French
Chinese
Arabic
So that each of the different

languages in the range is easily
recognizable on the bookshelf,
we have incorporated a system
of colour coding into the cover
design. Each book features a
ribbon design over the cover
and spine, using colours widely
associated with that language.
bilingual
At a glance, each language

is perfectly distinct from the
others.
With this added twist, each book is now identifiable not only as a Chambers book but as a
Chambers bilingual book.

PAPERBACK
Chambers Slang Dictionary is a magisterial work, covering the full range of slang over five centuries,
from all walks of life and from all corners of the English-speaking world.
This authoritative and comprehensive collection groups together under one headword all the
meanings, related words and expressions for that word, making the dictionary easy to use and
infinitely browsable.
Author Jonathon Green has spent decades trawling thousands of books, newspapers, scripts, song
lyrics, websites and other original sources to build up a vast collection of slang. This book draws
on his very latest research to paint a vivid picture of slang’s seedy underworld, from sex, drugs and
01235 400580
rock’n’roll to playground slang, crime and punishment.

Smut is a guide to the coarsest, the most lubricious, the downest and distinctly dirtiest of the

MAY
200 Words You Shouldn’t Use
Ever heard a word that made you cringe? Terms to Make You Squirm – 200 Words You Shouldn’t
Use focuses on the words and phrases that we over- and misuse, words that have become clichés
and words that are easily confused.
Using contemporary examples, it shows us why certain words and phrases should be used
sparingly – if at all – and by offering suitable replacements it can help us avoid using those terms
that make us squirm.
01235 400580
allude and elude

If you allude to something, you refer to it indirectly or without mentioning it explicitly. If you
elude someone, you escape from them in a clever or cunning way. If something you want
eludes you, you cannot obtain it.
He was a fugitive long before the FBI put him on the most wanted list. How he managed to allude
capture for so long is unclear at this point.

From the deliberately confusing to the downright vague, we all come across language that either

Weasel Words is a demystification of those words and phrases used to bewilder, befuddle and

Using contemporary examples, this book sets out those words we find confusing, explains what
each word actually means and examines why these words are used the way they are.
