Overview

"If you need a synonym for a word you look in a thesaurus. But what if you need a synonym for a phrase, such as ""flower arrangement"" or ""budget deficit"" or ""crowning achievement?"" You could try to track down a synonym in a thesaurus by looking up one word in the phrase, then sifting through the synonyms in hopes that one or two might apply to your phrase. Or you could use Roget's Thesaurus of Phrases. This one-of-a-kind reference offers 10,000 multi-word entries and multi-word synonyms to help writers avoid repetitions and cliches and to make their writing more precise. It is also useful for Internet searches, in which a key phrase may not pull all the desired information. Synonymous phrases will help the researcher find more information with less effort. This is truly a book for the 21st century."
