The Pocket Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus (New Look for Oxford Dictionaries)

The Pocket Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus (New Look for Oxford Dictionaries)

by Frank Abate (Editor)

Synopsis

Rather than forcing readers to flip between the thesaurus for synonyms and the dictionary for definitions, the Oxford Pocket Dictionary and Thesaurus provides a thoroughly integrated blend of entries from the dictionary and the thesaurus in a single, compact volume. This unified approach treats meanings and related words within the same entry, making it easy to find an abundance of information about any word, and providing a far more extensive analysis of the variety and nuances of our language than is possible in a dictionary or thesaurus alone. Founded on Oxford's renowned English language database, this is guaranteed to be the most frequently used reference work you own.
