What is the correct English synonym for “a” (in Welsh) when “b” (in English) has synonyms (“c”) having many parts of speech? Furthermore, what if “a” (in Welsh) is ambiguous and has several translations into English (“b”)? This thesaurus embraces this ambiguity by giving as much information to the reader as possible. For example, “test” is a verb, noun and adjective.
This is not necessarily true in linguistics when b is an English word that has more than one part of speech. What’s the problem? Translations do not always follow strict transitivity. While creating an English thesaurus for Welsh speakers seems simple enough, it can be tricky. English teachers or students can use these bilingual lists to create flash cards, basic lesson plans, and English as a Second Language (ESL) study lists. The third chapter has short vocabulary lists organized by parts-of-speech. The second chapter gives an index of these English synonyms back to the Welsh subject words (a potentially useful chapter to English speakers interested in basic Welsh vocabulary). This process results in over 22181 English synonyms. Synonyms are then given for the English translations for all relevant parts of speech (even in cases where the Welsh subject word has a unique part of speech).
For each Welsh subject word, one or more corresponding English subject words (translations) are provided.
