Описание: Preface
When several words seem to have almost the same meaning, how do you choose
the right word so that you express exactly what you want to? This book groups
words with similar meanings (known as ‘synonyms’) together and gives each a
definition and example so that the similarities and differences are made clear.
Anyone who wants to write clear and accurate English, using the correct word in a
particular context, will find this book helpful, and a useful companion to the
Easier English Basic Dictionary.
Groups of similar words are arranged alphabetically under the main word for the
particular meaning being illustrated, so words meaning ‘big’ are given at big. The
ways in which these similar words are used in different situations are compared.
Words with an opposite meaning to the main meaning being illustrated (known as
‘antonyms’) are also given.
If you are not sure which group the word you are checking might appear in, you
can find all the words in an alphabetical list at the end of the book with a reference
to the place where they appear. By using this list you will be able to find possible
alternative words to use for the basic word you already know.
