The Well-Spoken Thesaurus

Such is the philosophy of linguist Tom Heehler, a man who knows that when it comes to vocabulary, bigger isn't always better. A most uncommon reference, The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is your guide to eloquence, replacing ordinary words with extraordinary ones.

Description

For example, as replacements for "absolutely," Roget's thesaurus lists several adverbs—"extremely," "exactly," "perfectly." The Well-Spoken Thesaurus provides both words and phrases—"categorically," "without question," "by any measure"—that offer greater flexibility in shaping a potent, poetic sentence.
