Collins Concise Thesaurus - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The latest addition to the ground-breaking Collins Thesaurus range. It contains not only the latest vocabulary (cherry-pick, loose cannon, to-die-for) but also a wide variety of colourful and modern informal and slang words and phrases which are not to be found in other thesauruses of comparable size (in-you-face, nerd, up for it).

It provides 350,000 useful synonyms and antonyms for 16,000 main entry words, an average of 22 substitutes for every word.

The entry words are arranged in alphabetical order, so that you can go straight to the word you want and find, in one place, a list of synonyms that can be used instead. In many cases you will find a list of antonyms which will further increase your command of English. The book’s uncluttered layout and straightforward arrangement of material make this by far the easiest-to-use thesaurus available.

Vocabulary with restricted use, such as regional, informal, slang and taboo words, are clearly labelled to provide you with invaluable help in choosing the right word to suit your purpose.

Newly updated from the Bank of English, Collins Concise Thesaurus provides the maximum of useful information with the minimum of fuss.
