This new thesaurus is an essential tool for everyone who needs to write quickly, clearly, and well. A convenient and complete thesaurus for school, work, and home, The Concise Oxford American Thesaurus includes more than 15,000 main entries and over 350,000 synonyms, sample sentences and phrases for virtually every sense. Synonym Studies that show the subtle differences in meaning among a group of easily confused words are included, as well as the Oxford exclusive Language Guide, with information about grammar, usage, punctuation, frequently misspelled words, and much more. All Oxford American dictionaries use an easy-to-use respelling system to show how entries are pronounced. It uses simple, familiar markings to represent common American English sounds.
编辑推荐 From Booklist
Those looking for just the right word will find more than 15,000 entries and 350,000 synonyms and antonyms in this resource based on the Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus (2004). The "Word Notes" that helped make the original so enjoyable are gone, as are the tables of various kinds of cocktails, gemstones, etc. What's left is a sound, basic thesaurus, a good companion to Concise Oxford American Dictionary (see above).
