Does anyone have the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary? If so, what do they think about it. I am thinking of buying a copy/subscribing.
Does anyone know of an advanced learners' dictionary which gives the reader enough information about a phrasal verb in order for them to fully categorise its form (intransitive, transitive-separable, transitive-inseparable, transitive-mixed)?
Thanks for your time and input.
The free online version appears to do that e.g. wake up :
<a href="http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/wake_1">http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/wake_1</a> ;
Unfortunately Amazon does not show the "look inside" facility for the book .
The OUP site does show a few pages inside but I could not see any phrasal verbs in the few pages shown.

As you might gather I do not have a copy of the dictionary myself. I am sure that if you contact OUP and asked them the pertinent questions about a small sample of verbs, they could tell you something about the entries in the dictionary.

My friend says it's helpful. I didn't use it. I accessed Cambridge Dictionary at http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/learner-english/
for free. You can create your own word lists and have quizzes as well.
