Collins Gem Dictionary and Thesaurus [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION Collins Gem Dictionary and Thesaurus provides tvi'o kinds of quick and easy language help. In the dictionary or top section of the page, help with spellings and meanings; in the thesaurus or lower section of the page, a choice of synonyms. The dictionary entries are simply and clearly laid out, to enable you to check spelling and meaning at a glance. If you then look at the lower half of the page, you will find, for many of the words covered by the dictionary, hsts of synonyms, words of the same or similar meaning. These synonym lists offer you a choice of alternative words to use in place of the one which you have in mind. Suppose, for instance, you want to find another word for beginning. Perhaps you have used it already, or perhaps you feel that it is not quite suited to the tone or context of what you want to write or say. The entry for beginning in the thesaurus section of the page provides you with a list of alternative words suited to all occasions, from formal words like inauguration and initiation to simple alternatives like outset and start. Collins Gem Dictionary and Thesaurus is thus a uniquely helpful book, providing spelling, meaning, and a wide choice of alternative words all together at one place. The convenience of the matching text makes it an invaluable quick-reference book for many occasions, from helping with homework to solving the quick-crossword puzzle.
