Dear friends,
Recently I purchased the Collins Cobuild English Dictionary,
impressed by reading the comments by 'Antimoon'.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the meaning of certain words in this dictionary, for example 'deponent' and 'tinnitus'.
The meaning of these words are given in other dictionaries like
Oxford's and Webster's.
Now why this message is that evenafter making such a huge word bank and corpus exclusively for the sake of the lexicographers who edited this dictionay why such missings.
Have you find any such missings in this dictionary? I tried to contact the publishers and sent a few e mails at cobuild@ref.collins.co.uk, but there was no reply.
Thanks
