Synonymwörterbuch der deutschen Redensarten
[Dictionary of Synonyms for German Expressions]
In collab. with Birkenhauer, Renate
- Twofold way of accessing the idioms: semantic fields and alphabetical record
- Alphabetical records link to semantic fields for quick access to contexts
- intuitively graspable alphabetization
- Grades of synonymy visually expressed by different spacing between sections
Aims and Scope
The work is the only dictionary of synonyms for German idiomatic expressions. The idioms are accessible in a twofold way, either via a systematic section of semantic fields or an alphabetical record. The alphabetical entries, in turn, refer to the semantic fields so that the full contexts of meaning and synonymy are immediately available. The dictionary is an essential reference work for everyone who requires a versatile idiomatic style and an in-depth knowledge of contemporary German (writers, journalists, translators, foreign learners etc.). The new edition now includes a comprehensive, all new scholarly introduction exploring the close connection between idiomology and synonymy.
