Chambers Adult Learners' Thesaurus has been specially compiled to help adults develop their literacy skills. Words are clearly marked to show relative formality and examples show all the alternative words in typical contexts, so every word can be used correctly and with confidence. Particular emphasis is given to words that are employed to influence or persuade, or to create a particular mood, encouraging awareness of the power of words.
