(P/B) OXFORD MINI THESAURUS

Παρουσίαση

A thesaurus contains lists of words that have the same or a similar meaning to another word. It can help you to express yourself more clearly, find a word that is on the tip of your tongue, or avoid repeating a word that you have already used. It can also be a very useful resource for crossword puzzles and other word games. The fourth edition of the Oxford Mini Thesaurus has been completely revised and redesigned to make it the clearest and most helpful quick-reference thesaurus available. The lists of alternative words (known as 'synonyms') are arranged in order of their closeness in meaning to the entry word, with the closest one given first and printed in bold type to make it easy to find the sense you are looking for. New to this edition are the Word Link features, which contain extra vocabulary linked to a selection of key main entries. At the Word Link for bird, for example, you will find the terms ornithology (the study of birds) and avian (relating to birds). The Wordfinder section in the centre of the book provides still more sources of vocabulary to help with puzzle-solving, in the form of handy lists of animals, plants, clothes, types of food, and more.
