And even though the LIED is apparendy the first multimedia learner's dictionary of English, its quality is more than what one would expect from a pioneering effort. The fact that the LIED combines these various references into one makes it a new kind of reference work, but from the ways the LIED makes use of multimedia computer technology I cannot help but call it a revolutionary product for learners of English. It includes most of the information found in several Longman reference works for learners of English, namely the Longman Dictionary ofEnglish Language and Culture, Summers 1992 (LDELC), the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, Wells 1990 (LPD), the Longman English Grammar, Alexander 1988 (LEG), and the Longman Dictionary of Common Errors, Heaton and Turton 1987 (LDCE). The LIED is a dictionary of English for users whose native language is not English.
