In this Issue

Welcome to the 46th edition of MED Magazine, the free webzine of the Macmillan Dictionaries resource site.

This month’s issue is full of interesting articles about words and the English language.

In a change to the planned programme, this month’s Language Interference article looks at the difficulties students face translating between English and Arabic.

In the new word of the month series we look at the new words which have made it into the new edition of the Macmillan English Dictionary.

In a feature article, Michael Rundell and Sylviane Granger talk about the intricacies of a corpus-driven research project.

The MED CD section takes a look at the weblinks featured on the Macmillan English Dictionary CD-Rom
