Chambers Mini Thesaurus [antikvár]

Preface What is a thesaurus? It is a kind of dictionary, but one that instead of giving you meanings of a word, gives you alternatives for it. It helps you to use English more imaginatively and more effectively, and is indispensable in homes, offices and schools. This new Mini Thesaurus, based on the popular Chambers Thesaurus and arranged in the same friendly A-Z format, is an essential companion for all word users and a handy reference when searching for an elusive word. Useful synonyms (alternatives) are given for every word, and at least one antonym (a word that has the opposite meaning) for many of them. Many verbs may be spelt with either -îse or -ize as their ending (for example, realise or realize); their related nouns can be spelt with either -isatlon or -ization. This book uses the -s- forms. To add to the scope and versatility of the thesaurus, it should be used in conjunction with a dictionary - Chambers Mini Thesaurus has an ideal companion in Chambers Mini Dictionary.
