Precompiled thesauruses (most of them) identify equivalence and more general or specific relations.
Combining the elements of thesaurus, usage guide, lexicon and historical survey, it tells you everything you need to know.
For the thesauruses in these programs recognize far fewer forms than the spelling-checkers can, and only limited meanings for the forms they do recognize.
Some of them are encoded in electronic thesauri and dictionaries.
This is reflected in the differences between monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, and thesauri, which split senses along different lines.
But any thesaurus that we choose will contain comparatively few proper nouns, and a topical supplement would be desirable.
It indexes the electronic design notebooks by using manually generated thesauri, that is, collections of related terms.
As we described in the introduction, compound terms may also be used, and extra terms can be added from a thesaurus.
