To better serve contemporary needs, the newly revised 1985 edition incorporates a supplement of an additional 700 entries complete with multiple clarifications of the most modern scientific, technical, commercial, cultural and political terms and gives regional variations of local usages, idioms, and colloquialisms for Latin American and Castilian Spanish as well.
The 1985 edition of the Velazquez Dictionary fills the demand for a current, accurate, and convenient guide to traditional and modern terms in English and in Spanish and will greatly aid all those whose business, studies, or travel takes them into the Spanish-speaking world.
