Learner DictionariesLearner dictionaries are highly recommended because they contain some "grammar of the word" information, which is so essential to using a word correctly. I suspect that the printed editions of such dictionaries contain more than the website, but I have not yet researched this hunch. Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Links to Standard DictionariesOne Look Look up a word here and this site finds the word in many different dictionaries. Hyperdictionary is based on Wordnet. Do not confuse what it lists as synonyms with its thesaurus section which occurs much further down the page. Thesauruses and etcWordnet English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets. You can also download a fully functioning program to run Wordnet offline. WordNet 2.0 Vocabulary Helper is another site from which you can access Wordnet. The results of searches are presented in a slightly more user-friendly way than at the classic Wordnet site above. Visual Thesaurus This beautiful piece of programming is now available as an affordably purchasable product, so the web-access is limited to being a demo. English Synonym Dictionary This is not for the faint-hearted, but may appeal to statistically, graph oriented minds. Czech EnglishLingea Czech English, English Czech, Czech German, German Czech online dictionaries. ReferenceOxford Reference Online brings together language and subject reference works from one of the world's biggest reference publishers into a single cross-searchable resource.
