Oxford Thesaurus of English (1st ed.)

The Oxford Thesaurus of English is the largest one-volume print thesaurus available, with its 630,000 alternative words including over 570,000 synonyms, plus high numbers of antonyms, hyponyms and related terms. The synonyms are arranged in order of relevance, with grouping of terms with limited currency, such as informal, regional or technical terms. The set also includes corpus-based examples for most senses, nearly 38,000 in total.

The Oxford Thesaurus of English is a completely new and unique top-of-the-range thesaurus. It is the result of intensive research and exploitation of Oxford's unique bank of linguistic databases. It provides comprehensive coverage of English as it is used today, including World English, and rare, unusual, and colloquial senses.

The A-Z format, elegant open design with new elements starting on a new line, and the most useful alternative words given first, make this thesaurus particularly accessible. Help on how to use senses correctly is given through practical example phrases and the cross-referencing system takes the user to other useful entries. Opposite and related words and combining forms are clearly marked to distinguish them from the rest of the entry. In-text notes give invaluable advice on the use of awkward and confusable synonyms, and boxed noun lists provide a wealth of information on a wide variety of subjects, from actors and actresses to types of whisky.
