The Oxford Color Dictionary & Thesaurus, 3e is a convenient,
compact, and portable reference book designed to aid students with
their studies and help everyday users solve common language
problems and puzzles, wherever they are.
Providing a complete dictionary and thesaurus in one volume, it is
an especially user-friendly resource, with a
colorful design and a smart new layout that makes it simple to find
the word you need. This handy reference contains more than 40,000
words, phrases, and definitions, and more than 65,000 synonyms. The
new edition features a brand new layout, with the headwords,
phrases, and key synonyms all in a bright, lively color, and the
thesaurus entry for each word sitting directly alongside the
dictionary entry, so that you do not have to hunt up-and-down the
page to find the word you are looking for. In addition, when words
have more than one meaning, the first "core synonym" in a group
will be highlighted in color, to indicate the general meaning of
the words in the group.
This edition also contains a 30-page center section on "Effective
English" which covers the basics of writing English and how to get
the best out of your thesaurus. Here readers will find guidance on
collective nouns and verb tenses, when to use parenthesis and when
to use square brackets, how and when to use a dash, and how
prefixes and suffixes help to form words (the discussion includes a
chart of more than forty of the most commonly used prefixes and
suffixes).
Designed to fit easily into a backpack, bag, or pocketbook, the
Oxford Color Dictionary & Thesaurus is ideal for anyone who
needs a portable reference that they can easily carry from home to
the office, to school, or anywhere in-between.
