Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cantonese is spoken by an estimated 73 million people worldwide. It remains hugely influential and a source of great pride--especially for its speakers in Hong Kong, where it flourishes as the predominant language and so sets Hong Kong apart linguistically from all of mainland China. The first and most authoritative reference of its kind to be published in the last forty years, ABC Cantonese-English Comprehensive Dictionary comprises about 15,000 lexical entries that are unique to the colloquial Cantonese language as it is spoken and written in Hong Kong today. Author Robert S. Bauer, a renowned lexicographer and authority on Cantonese, has utilized language documentation resources to the fullest extent by gathering material firsthand from dictionaries, glossaries, and grammars; newspapers and magazines; government records; cartoons and comic books; film and television; websites; and native speakers striding the sidewalks of Hong Kong to capture concretely contemporary Cantonese. In addition to the Introduction, which presents an exhaustive description and analysis of Hong Kong Cantonese, this dictionary's special features include: alphabetical ordering of the lexical entries by their Jyut Ping romanized Cantonese pronunciations; parts of speech; cross-referencing with semantically related lexical items; variant pronunciations and written forms in Chinese characters and English letters; explanatory notes on social status and usage (literal, figurative, slang, jargon, humorous, obscene, obsolete, etc.); information on sociocultural, historical, and political aspects; and example sentences showing lexical usage in the context of spoken Cantonese.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many Putonghua pocket dictionaries available on the market, there is a great dearth of Cantonese pocket dictionaries, and as the Rev. Roy T. Cowles wrote in the Foreword, ‘A convenient pocket dictionary of Cantonese is so evident a need that no apology is necessary for the presentation of this volume.’ The first section of the book is a Cantonese-English dictionary. Some 5300 characters, including duplicates pronounced variously, are listed, with about 4000 phrases. The second section consists of the English-Cantonese index. Cowles has made every endeavour to include every character in colloquial use, classified according to its use and frequency.
