In this Issue Welcome to the 36th edition of MED Magazine, the webzine of the Macmillan Dictionaries resource site. March 2006 saw the publication of a brand-new bilingual Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary for learners of English. To mark the launch of Macmillan Diccionario Pocket, we include an article on the topic of Spanish and English cognates and false friends in this issue. Our regular column on English neologisms widens its usual scope this month and investigates how English influences the creation of new words in other languages, namely Dutch, Italian, Polish, Russian and Serbian. Author Jonathan Marks completes his series on phrasal verbs with a review of the different approaches to teaching and learning phrasal verbs and other phrasal vocabulary. The final article in the Focus on Phrasal Verbs column discusses the creative ways in which new English phrasal verbs are made. In this edition, the corpora tips series also comes to its end. The final article highlights the pros and cons of using search engines for exploring vocabulary and provides helpful tips and activities on how search engines can be exploited for vocabulary extension. Visit the Back Issues page if you would like to take a look at any of the webzine's back issues.
