THE CHAMBERS THESAURUS is a veritable treasure-trove, with the greatest selection of alternative words and phrases available in an A to Z format. Modern vocabulary sits alongside archaic, and technical terms, formal language and slang are all covered. Boxed entries discussing tone and nuance help you to select the perfect synonym, and related quotations and proverbs throughout the text show the words in action. 'Types of' panels give helpful suggestions for words it is difficult to find alternatives for - so beside the synonyms for 'flower' you will also find a list of common flowers. As a bonus for creative writers and wordgame fans, a special supplement, the Word Lovers' Miscellany, brings together themed lists, literary devices and much more.
