Title: Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases: Index Author: Roget These files were assembled by L. John Old, Napier University, Edinburgh, from MICRA's contributed eBook of Roget's Thesaurus (Project Gutenberg's ROGET'S THESAURUS OF ENGLISH WORDS AND PHRASES Notes on the automatically-generated Index to Roget's Thesaurus, 1911 edition. Introduction A true Roget's Thesaurus (as opposed to an alphabetically-listed synonym dictionary) is composed of three parts: - a hierarchical classification structure (hierarchy or "Synopsis of Categories"); - a body, which lists the Categories (whose titles are sometimes referred to as "head words" or "headings"), under which are found the groups of semantically- or conceptually-related words and phrases (also called synonyms or entries); - and an Index that lists the entries alphabetically (along with the Category titles and numbers under which the entry may be found in the body). This document contains the complete Index to the 1911 (American) edition. It was generated from the entries (synonyms, phrases and word lists) contained in the Gutenburg/MICRA free E- text thesaurus 14a (plain text version). It is larger than the original 1911 Roget's Thesaurus Index, containing all text entries (i.e. excluding numbers, special characters and parenthetical information) up to 25 characters long (91,000+ entries). Index Entries This Index lacks the intelligence found in the original hand-edited Index, where common-sense aggregations occur. For example A B C and A.B.C. are found under a single Index entry in the original Index. Also, phrases are here listed alphabetically rather than "semantically." For example, in the original Index under the Index entry home there are phrases such as be at -, at - with, bring Ð to ("be at home," "at home with," " bring home to"). In this automatically-generated Index be at home is instead listed after the entry be at cross purposes with and before the entries be at home in, and be at home with; while bring home to is listed after bring i.e. none are listed under home. | ||||
