The thesaurus in your Language Master offers meaning statements, synonyms,
antonyms and compares. The meaning statements precede the other information
and help you choose the correct set of synonyms, antonyms, etc.
The Language Master includes "antonyms" and "compares" in its thesaurus infor-
mation. Antonyms are words which mean the opposite of the word you looked up.
Compares are words which are close in meaning to the word you looked up, but
not close enough to be a synonym. Use a compare when you're looking for a word
that approximates the one you looked up. Use a synonym when you want a word
exactly like the one you looked up.
