Description
The New Oxford Rhyming Dictionary is a comprehensive reference for anyone who uses language in creative or technical ways. With over 45,000 rhymes, it covers a wide range of words, including proper names, place names, and foreign terms used in English. The dictionary's clear organization and layout make it easy to find the rhymes you need, with useful groupings by sound and a complete A-Z index for quick navigation. In-text notes offer practical advice on using rhymes effectively, as well as suggestions for expanding the rhyming lists and examples of how poets have used rhyme in their work. The dictionary also includes a brief introduction that provides a historical and literary context for rhyming, as well as tips for creative writing. This new edition is fully up to date, with over 200 additional words added since the last edition, including modern terms like iPod and Americano.
