Is a reference book that contains words with their meanings pronunciations parts of speech spellings and?

Dictionaries and thesauruses are reference books for words. But what's the difference between them? When do we use a dictionary and when do we use a thesaurus?

Dictionary

A dictionary is a list of words arranged alphabetically, and for each word you can see:

  • definition: the meaning or meanings of the word, often with example sentences
  • part of speech: whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective etc
  • correct spelling: the exact spelling and any possible alternatives
  • pronunciation: how to say the word
  • etymology: the origin of the word (did it come from Latin, for example?)

Here is a simple example of a dictionary entry for the noun "dog":

dog (noun): a domesticated, meat-eating animal that usually has a long snout, excellent sense of smell, and a barking or howling voice

When you want to know what a word means, you look in a dictionary.

Thesaurus

A thesaurus is a list of words arranged in conceptual groups or alphabetically, and for each word you can see:

  • similar words: a number of words that have nearly the same meaning or the same meaning (synonym)
  • opposite words: one or two words that have the opposite meaning (antonym) or nearly opposite meaning

Here is a simple example of a thesaurus entry for the noun "dog":

dog (noun): hound, canine, mongrel, tyke; bitch, pup, puppy, whelp; doggy, mutt

When you don't know the exact word you that want, you look in a thesaurus.

Note:

  • A thesaurus does not give the meaning of words.
  • A thesaurus does not always include antonyms.
  • The plural of thesaurus is "thesauri" or "thesauruses".
