- Summary
- This book offers ample choice of synonyms, but no antonyms, for many words, although it does not differentiate or compare the different senses of words. It does, however, separate synonyms for different senses of the word by the use of semicolons. The book gives the part(s) of speech for every entry word and identifies synonyms in three categories: literal, figurative, and specialist (as from science, technology, or the arts, but with a distinct British emphasis).
