Product Description

Product Description

Hugely comprehensive and completely up to date, the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary is the ultimate rhymer's companion. An ideal reference tool for songwriters, poets, copywriters, and lyricists, and useful for students and teachers in the classroom, it offers over 85,000 words and is more than twice the size of most of it's competitors, giving you the best possible chance of finding even the most elusive rhyme. This dictionary is simple and straightforward to use: you locate the word you need in the index, and are referred to the place in the main text where you will find the words that rhyme with it. Browse a little further and you will also find, near by, close rhymes and half rhymes for the word in question. Words are organized according to their sound rather than alphabetically, which means you can find a rhyme to match a word as it is spoken, rather than how it is spelt. Whether you're in search of a gluey Drambuie, pastrami with tsunami, or a Salt Lake City subcommittee, this dictionary will help to increase your vocabulary and will take your rhyming skills to a whole new level.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Rhyming Tool?, 10 Nov 2004
By Edward Barry "Out of the ordinary comes..?" (Suffolk, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This book is a wonder and seems to be the most comprehensive of its type on the market.

It's enduring attraction is that it promotes so many different contexts for rhyme - not just academic poetry but in jokes, song lyrics, photo-captions, speeches etc - that you may not be initially aware of. Unexpectedly for me it's a great "dip in" book.

As with all reference books this needs to be (and is) a sturdy hardback. How many others are?

Ultimately it's main worth for me is it's organisation. It's arranged by a large index at the back which is a list of alphabetical subjects, their exact rhymes are numerically systematised in the front section into groups of exact rhymes. Usefully this includes proper nouns (eg Robert di Niro = hero)and even more practically, each category is organised ALONGSIDE groups of near-rhymes giving you greater access to the comedic side of rhyming.

And that's just it - with such a large wordbank this is an unpredictably funny source of reference. One which is bound to increase in usuage once the lay-out is mastered.

You too can rhyme Somerset with Exocet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this one!, 1 Jan 2008
By G. Hogg "Hoggie" (Newcastle) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the one to get. Don't bother with cheaper ones. It's a reference book that doesn't mind being well thumbed. If only the other publishers realised that reference books have to be a sturdy piece of kit. This will be a constant companion for many years. Penguin lasted a year. Chambers lasted a few weeks.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Rhyme Too Many?, 11 Oct 2005
While the book is very comprehensive its very comprehensiveness
counts against convenient use. If you're an amateur poet, you'd
do better with the Penguin or the Chambers. A rhyming dictionary
can only be suggestive - who wants ALL the possible rhymes for
a given word?
