Description: Webster's
edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number
of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that
are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic
examinations.
Extremely rare
or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes
compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations.
Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of
meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English
language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch.
Having the
reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary
retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on
previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it
has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied
at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's
Online Dictionary.
