Canadian Oxford Paperback Thesaurus |
| Edited by Oxford’s Canadian lexicography department, this is
Oxford University Press’s first Canadian thesaurus. With 300,000 synonyms
and 8,000 opposites, this easy-to-use A-Z reference is ideal for all kinds of
writing needs-for study, at home, or in the office. |
| The Paperback Oxford Canadian Thesaurus provides the most
useful alternative word first, followed by the words that are closest in
meaning to the entry word given in capitals. Thousands of example sentences
show words used in context, making it easier to make the right choice every
time. Alternate and opposite words are clearly labelled if they are informal, dialect, literary, or technical. In addition, over 185 word family boxes offer lists of related words on a diverse range of topics including Native Languages of Canada, Doughnuts and Deep-fried Sweets, Breeds of Dogs, Dinosaurs, Sewing Terms and even Hockey Terms. |
