Reviews the main features of the Oxford Thesaurus: an A-Z Dictionary of Synonyms; in the context of the historical development of general thesaurus publishing and the main characteristics of early published thesauri. The unique features of the Oxford Thesaurus consist of the technique of illustrating entries with sample sentences carefully selected to clarify the precise meanings, and the inclusion of a full index of all synonyms used. The examples chosen are lively, contemporary, natural and idiomatic. While all the notorious four letter Anglo Saxon words are included, one class of word is notably absent: terms of racial abuse; all of which are included in Roget’s Thesaurus. The Oxford Thesaurus is published by Oxford University Press and is available in printed form and on floppy diskette for use on personal computers.
