" . . . the first of its kind to present the most frequently found combinations of Ukrainian words in a modern setting with fluid, pitch-perfect English translations."- Michael S. Flier, Harvard University

The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary provides the core Ukrainian lexicon as it is used in contemporary speech. This dictionary has no precedents in Ukrainian and Slavic bilingual lexicography and combines elements of six types of dictionaries: translation, collocation, learner's, thesaurus, phraseological and encyclopedic dictionaries.

The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary will be useful to Ukrainian language learners of all levels (elementary, intermediate, advanced and superior), Ukrainian language instructors and instructors of theory and practice of translation, Ukrainian-English and English-Ukrainian translators and interpreters, comparative linguists, lexicographers, researchers, business people, journalists, and anyone with an interest in the Ukrainian language. It is an irreplaceable resource for Ukrainian-speakers who study English and native speakers of Ukrainian who wish to perfect and enrich their Ukrainian.

Includes:

Over 9,000 entries that comprise the most frequently used Ukrainian lexicon
More than 200,000 word combinations
80,000 illustrative examples, including common Ukrainian idioms and their English equivalents
A comprehensive introduction to the Ukrainian language and grammar

Industry Reviews

"Yuri Shevchuk's Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary is a highly welcome addition to Ukrainian lexicology, the first of its kind to present the most frequently found combinations of Ukrainian words in a modern setting with fluid, pitch-perfect English translations. It will be a major reference for students learning Ukrainian, for travelers, and for advanced speakers of Ukrainian, who will profit from its wide-ranging morphological, syntactic and lexical detail."

--Michael S. Flier, Harvard University

"Shevchuk has not only produced an infinitely helpful resource for anyone interested in Ukrainian, but given us one of the most breathtaking scholarly achievements in Slavonic Studies in many years. It is a monument to the Ukrainian language and a watershed in its development on the global stage."

- Rory Finnin, University of Cambridge

"The publication of this Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary comprises a monumental event in Ukrainian lexicology. . . . The sheer abundance and quality information in Shevchuk's entries should make his dictionary a primary source that translators and learners should go to in seeking translations of Ukrainian words and expressions. Shevchuk's collocation dictionary, the first of its kind for any Slavic language, should also serve as a useful template for future compilers of similarly constructed dictionaries for the Slavic world. . . . a remarkable contribution to Ukrainian lexicology that will have meaningful impact for decades to come."

- Michael M. Naydan, Slavic Review
