This thesaurus is an updated addition of Oxford's expanding range of thesauruses. It is geared particularly towards users who are studying, who want a comprehensive thesaurus, but also value practicality and portability. It contains 300,000 alternative words along with a range of other benefits. It provides more help on how to use the different words (through practical example phrases), quick access to the likely options (with the alternatives most closely linked to the meaning of the headword listed first), and an in-text cross-referencing system to take you to other useful entries.
