What makes The Chambers Thesaurus different?
The greatest selection of alternative words and phrases
The Chambers Thesaurus is a veritable treasure-trove, with the greatest selection of alternative words and phrases available in an A to Z format. Modern vocabulary sits alongside archaic, and technical terms, formal language and slang are all covered. Boxed entries discussing tone and nuance help you to select the perfect synonym, and related quotations and proverbs throughout the text show the words in action. 'Types of' panels give helpful suggestions for words it is difficult to find alternatives for - so beside the synonyms for 'flower' you will also find a list of common flowers.
The Chambers Thesaurus draws on the resources of its companion volume, The Chambers Dictionary, to offer the richest range of synonyms and antonyms available, making it a must for writers, puzzle and wordgame enthusiasts, and everyone who loves words. This edition has been updated with new vocabulary and includes hundreds of quotations and proverbs, helping you add sparkle to your writing and making the book even more of a pleasure to browse through. This thesaurus has been created using data from Chambers Wordtrack, a year-round programme that monitors the latest words and meanings to arrive in the English language. The thesaurus is also backed by the authority of the Chambers Harrap International Corpus(R), a database unique to Chambers. It contains over 500 million words of current written and spoken English.
