McFarland & Co Inc Homophones and Homographs
Book Synopsis This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.Trade Reviewa serious work of exemplary scholarship that stands alone in the field...recommended"" - Booklist""comprehensive, authoritative, and useful sourcebook"" - ARBA""valuable resource...the annotated bibliography is more than seven excellent pages in length...useful"" - Library Journal""a fascinating compendium of potential misunderstandings...a gold mine for students of English and for writers, journalists, and instructors...recommended"" - Choice""the best roster of these phenoma"" - Wilson Library Bulletin""a good choice for any library"" - Reference Quarterly""a good sourcebook"" - C&RL News""the interesting annotated bibliography is a useful, critical guide to a very wide range of relevant dictionaries and commentaries...essential"" - Reference Reviews.Table of Contents Preface Overview of Homophones and Homograph Definitions The “Conflict of Homophones” Controversy Criteria for Including and Excluding Words Notational Devices and Phonetic Symbols Organization of the Dictionary Some Final Thoughts Homophones Homographs Appendix: Unusual Groupings Homophones Five or More One-Syllable Words Four or More Two-Syllable Words Three or More Three-Syllable Words All Four-, Five-, and Six-Syllable Words Homographs (three or more words) Homophones and Homographs (all words) Annotated Bibliography

New Island Books Teasáras Gaeilge-Béarla Irish-English Thesaurus
Book SynopsisLeac mhullaigh éachtach é TEASÁRAS GAEILGE–BÉARLA ar obair shaoil an údair, Garry Bannister. Ócáid chinniúnach staire í i leith staidéar na teanga agus a cultúir. Is leabhar tagartha é nach bhfuil a mhacasamhail ar fáil inniu. Taifead cuimsitheach é a nochtann scéimh, solúbthacht, doimhneacht agus stair na Gaeilge, bronnta ar an saol mar thoradh ar an taighde fhairsing chríochnúil atá déanta ag Bannister. Cuimsíonn an Teasáras seo comhchiallaigh, cleachtaí agus nósanna cainte, comhcheangail fhocal, leaganacha logánta agus seanfhocail. Léiríonn na hiontrálacha sa Teasáras seo peirspictíochtaí úra nach mbeifí ag súil leo sa teanga faoi mar a bhí sí inné agus mar atá sí inniu. Is áis an-úsáideach ar fad do stór focal an úsáideora iad na liostaí atá breactha de réir téama ar feadh an leabhair. Anuas ar sin tá cuntas nuálaíoch ar oibriú na Gaeilge nua-aoisí curtha faoinár mbráid i dTreoir Ghramadaí i gcúl an leabhair. Cuireann TEASÁRAS GAEILGE–BÉARLA saibhreas suntasach nua le corpas téacsanna tagartha na Gaeilge. Acmhainn áisiúil, riachtanach, is ea í, agus taisce dhothomhaiste do chainteoirí, scríbhneoirí agus iriseoirí, d’údair, d’aos dána agus do lucht foghlama agus, go deimhin, do dhuine ar bith a dteastaíonn uathu slacht, snas agus snoiteacht a chur ar a scileanna teanga idir labhairt agus scríobh na Gaeilge. IRISH–ENGLISH THESAURUS is the stunning culmination of Garry Bannister’s life’s work and a milestone in engagement with the Irish language and its culture. It is a reference book like no other, a meticulously researched record which captures the beauty, agility, depth and history of the Irish language. Entries include but are not limited to translations, synonyms, usages and colloquialisms, common word combinations and proverbs. Every single entry reveals fresh and often surprising perspectives on contemporary and older usage. An original and innovative grammar guide offers leaner and more accurate descriptions of how the language is used. Lists of thematically grouped vocabulary appear throughout the book as an extremely useful tool for language-building and prose writing. IRISH–ENGLISH THESAURUS is a significant addition to the corpus of reference texts, an essential and indispensable resource for speakers, authors, poets, journalists, students and teachers, and, indeed, for anyone wishing to enrich and develop their spoken and written Irish-language skills. Trade ReviewNíl amhras ar bith nach bhfuil toirt agus téagar sa Teasáras Gaeilge-Béarla a thiomsaigh Garry Bannister. Is breá go deo an leabhar í. -- Seosamh Ó Cuaig * Tuarisc *If a thesaurus is typically a book or electronic resource that lists words in groups of synonyms and related concepts, the Teasáras does this and more. In fact, if anything, it is more like a one-stop-shop for the Irish language or Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Irish But Were Afraid to Ask ... Part of the pleasure of the Teasáras is losing oneself in the endless possibilities of the language, as the headword kickstarts a stream of associations... . A crucial contribution of the Teasáras is showing how a fuller knowledge of Irish offers opportunities for seeing in a deeper, more context-sensitive way. * The Irish Times *
