In developing this new edition. I chose to focus on the modernity and scope of the language coverage in the sixth edition ofRoget’s International Thesaurus®. We live in the Internet Age, making theInternational Thesaurus ever more valuable. It can now be used in the wording of queries for search engines accessing the World Wide Web. To this end, I haveincluded as many new words and phrases as possible from general vocabulary to scientific and technological terms. The lists have been revised to add new terms, delete obsolete ones, and expand treatment. Quotations were retained if they could conceivably be valuable in a user’s writings. Otherwise, unuseful quotations and outdated terms were set aside to makeroom for new synonyms, additional synonyms, and new lists.
