"One of the unique features of this thesaurus is this: The author has marked how relatively frequent/important (for fluency training) a headword is... This is the first thesaurus to have ever included such a feature, and every user of this thesaurus would find this feature immensely helpful." - General Knowledge Today.
"A dedicated fluency-oriented English language thesaurus... Marks the birth of a new branch in thesaurus making." - THE HINDU.
The Core Fluency Thesaurus is a dedicated fluency-oriented vocabulary building book - and the first thesaurus of its kind. From none other than Prof. Kev Nair, the world's foremost authority on fluency building. It groups together, under headwords, word groups that express meanings similar to, or somewhat similar to, its important meanings. These are groups of words that individual words tend to form with other words, with a more-than-chance frequency: Phrases, collocations, phrasal verbs, idioms and other multi-word items that have the property of adding to your fluency. The author has marked how relatively frequent/important (for fluency training) a headword is with the indicators 'AAA', 'AA' and 'A'. Headwords marked 'AAA' are more frequent/important than those marked 'AA' and 'A'. And headwords marked 'AA' are more frequent/important than those marked 'A'.
