The Pop-up Thesaurus with comprehensive coverage and
clear layout!
From the world’s most trusted dictionaries comes Oxford’s brand new
thesaurus, The New Oxford Thesaurus of English.
All thesauruses contain lists of words that are linked by having a similar
meaning, but the New Oxford Thesaurus of English goes much further - it also
contains antonyms (words with opposite meanings), related terms, noun lists,
detailed studies of closely related synonyms, advice on confusable words, and
other features.
With more than 600,000 alternative and opposite words, you won’t have to crack
your brains trying to figure out the perfect word to use in your research paper.
With the revolutionary iFinger Pop-up interface, you have the easiest-ever
access to this thesaurus. Simply move your cursor over a word on your Web page
or your windows application and the entries are displayed in a pop-up window.
It is an unrivalled reference resource for students, professionals, and writers
of every kind.
It certainly deserves the title of thesaurus, which comes from a Greek word
meaning storehouse or treasure.
