Review & Description

Compiled by the two linguists who (collectively) have been in charge of Cornell University's Russian Language program for over forty years, this 17,000-entry learner's dictionary of Russian on CD-ROM was designed from the ground up as an electronic tool for English-speaking students. It is a meticulously crafted reference source that takes into account the typical difficulties that challenge students in their first two years of study. With its first edition released over ten years ago, this dictionary has been continuously perfected and upgraded through this 2009 version for Microsoft Windows (including Vista) and Mac OS (including 10.5 Leopard). In this unique tool, any inflected form of a Russian word can be searched for--you don't have to know the dictionary form. Searching by English glosses is also available. All forms of the word, with stress marks, are displayed: at least 80% of the entries include complete inflectional information--every ending spelled out, including deverbal forms as well as all gender and case forms for adjectives (even short forms and comparatives). Concise morphology information is also provided so the students can test their understanding of how the forms are produced. The definitions (in English) are very detailed, and thousands of example sentences are included to show government patterns for all verbs and prepositions, as well as those nouns and adjectives that have syntactic requirements. The Russian Dictionary Tree by Richard L. Leed and Slava Paperno is a greatly expanded version of the early book version, which was called '...a first-rate work...' (Russian Language Journal), '...a dictionary of the highest quality...' (review in Slavic and East European Journal).
