Yuri Shevchuk Publishes “Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary”

The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary compiled by Yuri Shevchuk, lecturer of Ukrainian at Columbia University, was recently published by the Hippocrene Books of New York. The 1000-page tome has no precedents in Ukrainian or Slavic lexicography and combines features of six types of dictionaries: 1) bilingual (translation), 2) collocation, 3) learner’s, 4) phraseological, 5) thesaurus, and 6) encyclopedic. The Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary is meant for Ukrainian language learners of all levels of proficiency (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.
