A learner’s thesaurus of over 15,000 words and expressions from written and spoken British and American English.
The learner’s thesaurus helps students distinguish between similar
words and use them correctly. The 2,000 entries: – include between three
and ten near synonyms, showing the differences between them in terms of meaning, grammar, register,
collocations, and frequency; – help students understand the differences
between familiar words, such as easy and simple, while learning
expressions they may not know, such as effortless, painless, and smooth
sailing; – provide over 4,000 notes to enable students to distinguish
between very close synonyms, choose the best word for the context, and use it correctly; and – include over 2,000 opposites.
