Oxford Thesaurus of English

Developed using evidence from the Oxford English Corpus, this fully revised text offers more up-to-date and complete coverage of synonyms and antonyms than any other A-Z thesaurus. Increased coverage now includes hundreds of new phrases and idioms, and newly selected examples of real English showing how words are used, and helping to guide you to the right meaning. New features include the Word Toolkit which helps you choose the best word matches based on evidence from the Oxford English Corpus. In addition, the popular Word Link feature points you to related words. Look up 'sleep' and find the words 'sedative', 'hypnotic', and 'soporific', and find related prefixes. The redesigned centre section provides convenient lists of words by topic, from society and religion, to fashion and technology, in addition to lists of foreign, and archaic words and phrases. An invaluable resource for puzzlers, or anyone wishing to broaden their vocabulary. The Oxford Thesaurus of English is ideal for anyone who wants a comprehensive and authoritative thesaurus of current English, for use by writers and editors, students, and crossword and puzzle solvers at work or at home.Author: Oxford Languages,author Contributors: Oxford Languages,author Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 1072 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: 3 Published/Release Date: 13 Aug 2009 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Oxford University Press Author/Director/Artist: Oxford Languages Dimension (cm): 277x220x53 mm Package Dimension (cm): 57x281x223 mm Item Weight (g): 2396 Package Weight (g): 2390
