rather than..

0I looked into two dictionary for 'rather than', they say "rather than" means "instead of." 02br
02br
00In Oxford dictonary, 02br
02br
00 r00ather than : instead of sb/sth02br
02br
00• Why didn’t you ask for help, 00rather than00 01u00trying02u00 to do it on your own?02br
02br
00But in Longman dictionary,02br
02br
05002br
02br
00rather than : instead of02br
02br
00• 00Rather than00 01u00go02u00 straight on to university why not get some work experience first?02br
02br
00• Bryson decided to quit 00rather than00 01u00accept 02u00the new rules.02br
02br
00In Oxford, there is "try01u00ing02u00" after "rather than," that means 'rather than' is preposition and it agrees with its meaning 'instead of.'02br
02br
00But in Longman, there are "go" and 'accept' after "rather than."02br
02br
00Can you tell me why this contradiction happens?02br
