Preview audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Preview" — noun, pronounced /ˈpriːvjuː/, with the stress on "pre".
Narrator: A preview is an opportunity to see something before it is shown to the general public.
Narrator: In plain English, it is a sneak peek.
Narrator: It combines pre, before, with view, from the Old French veue, sight.
Narrator: A common collocation is "a sneak preview", which describes an early, exclusive look.
Narrator: It differs from "trailer", because a trailer is a short advert, while a preview can be a full early showing.
Narrator: In computing, a print preview shows how a document will look before printing.
Narrator: Film, theatre, publishing and software all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: a preview is a look before the launch.
