En savoir plus sur le livre

We all know the challenge of finding the right synonym: we consult a thesaurus for alternatives but must then check a dictionary for definitions, leading to a tedious back-and-forth. However, The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus presents a solution by seamlessly integrating dictionary entries with thesaurus content. This unified format allows users to access a wealth of information about words in one place, offering a comprehensive analysis of language nuances that neither a dictionary nor a thesaurus can provide alone. Developed by Oxford's American dictionary staff and an international team of lexicographers, this resource draws on the extensive lexical expertise of Oxford University Press, a leading authority on the English language. It features over 190,000 definitions and 300,000 synonyms, all organized for user-friendly access. The coverage includes global English terms like "brassed off," "billabong," and new words such as "shareware" and "carbon tax." Additional valuable appendices include over 1,000 proverbs, terms for animal groups, weights and measures, chemical elements, musical notation, and lists of U.S. presidents and countries. With its comprehensive approach, The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus stands out as an unparalleled resource, combining an up-to-date American English dictionary with extensive thesaurus coverage and a global perspective on the language.
