The "Dictionary of the Most Demanding Words of Modern Greek" contributes to the enrichment of the speaker's vocabulary with demanding words, that is, words that carry particular weight and prestige in speech. These words are used at a more demanding level of communication and significantly contribute to the creative and effective use of the language.
The Dictionary includes 4,000 entries, providing brief and simple definitions, selected synonyms, and certain selected phrases.
All entries include brief etymological information. 300 informative comments contribute to a better understanding of the words by addressing potential questions from the dictionary's most demanding readers.
An important role is played by the 15,000 examples (mostly authentic, sourced from Electronic Text Corpora and other sources), which help the speaker understand how each word is used in speech (how it appears in sentences or with which other words it combines, i.e., what its most common lexical collocations are).
Of particular importance are the 1,100 selected excerpts from modern Greek literature (from Papadiamantis, Roides, Palamas, Seferis, Elytis, Empeirikos, Anagnostakis, etc.) which highlight the literary dimension and utilization of the words.
