University and Research Thesaurus to Build Vocabulary
The PhraseBook thesaurus is specifically compiled for university and research writing, and contains both synonyms (words with a similar meaning) and antonyms (words with the opposite meaning). The thesaurus helps you build a richer vocabulary in English and avoid using the same expressions over and again.
Glossary of University and Research Terms
he PhraseBook also includes a glossary with common university and research terminology. A great deal of English academic vocabulary derives from Latin and Greek. Given the large number of foreign elements in English university and research vocabulary, it can be difficult to guess the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Knowledge of some Greek and Latin helps to decipher the meaning of many terms, not least for speakers from parts of the world with other classical languages.
Exercises for Individual and Classroom Use
The PhraseBook is both a useful classroom tool for teachers and a self-study book for students. Rather than concentrating on rules and exceptions as many books, the PhraseBook focuses on writing, providing the tools for students to write in their subject.
