Webster's New World(TM) Roget's A-Z Thesaurus gives writers what they really need--more synonyms, with the broadest and most useful range of comparisons, examples, and related terms and ideas. It is the only college thesaurus to offer synonym discussion paragraphs and clearly distinguished example lists.
Roget's II Thesaurus is more than just an alphabetical list of words and their synonyms. Instead, the professional lexicographers who penned the thesaurus included some unique features such as a list of “slang” or special uses at the end of the synonym list, as well as a cross referenced index at the end of each series of synonyms that can point you in the direction of numerous related words or antonyms (words with opposite meanings).
