OXFORD PAPERBACK THESAURUS

Παρουσίαση

A thesaurus (from the Greek for 'storehouse' or 'treasure') helps you to express yourself more accurately and in more interesting and varied ways. By listing groups of words that have similar meanings to each other, it offers a choice of alternative words (synonyms) that can be used in place of one that you already have in mind. This new edition of the Oxford Paperback Thesaurus is based on the latest language research from Oxford: we have added thousands of new examples from the Oxford English Corpus, a database containing a billion words of English, making it even easier to find the meanings that you want. A new Wordfinder section has also been added in the centre of this edition. This provides you with still further sources of vocabulary: extensive but handy lists of different animals, items of food and drink, parts of the body, plants, forms of transport, and many other categories. These lists are ideal for helping you solve crosswords and other puzzles or just reminding you of a word that is on the tip of your tongue. The Oxford Paperback Thesaurus is an invaluable tool for writing memos and reports at work, essays and dissertations at school or college, letters to friends or potential employers, or in creative writing for a living or for pleasure.
