PREFACE

This is an English thesaurus designed for Vietnamese speakers who wish to
better understand the ambiguities and richness of the English language. The first
chapter is a full English thesaurus organized by 1608 Vietnamese subject words.
For each Vietnamese subject word, one or more corresponding English subject
words (translations) are provided. Synonyms are then given for the English
translations for all relevant parts of speech (even in cases where the Vietnamese
subject word has a unique part of speech). This process results in over 13370
English synonyms.

The second chapter gives an index of these English synonyms back to the
Vietnamese subject words (a potentially useful chapter to English speakers
interested in basic Vietnamese vocabulary). The third chapter has short
vocabulary lists organized by parts-of-speech. 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.

While creating an English thesaurus for Vietnamese speakers seems simple
enough, it can be tricky. What’s the problem? Translations do not always follow
strict transitivity. Normally, if a=b and b=c, then c=a. This is not necessarily true
in linguistics when b is an English word that has more than one part of speech.
For example, “test” is a verb, noun and adjective. What is the correct English
synonym for “a” (in Vietnamese) when “b” (in English) has synonyms (“c”)
having many parts of speech? Furthermore, what if “a” (in Vietnamese) is
ambiguous and has several translations into English (“b”)? This thesaurus
embraces this ambiguity by giving as much information to the reader as possible.
This was accomplished in two phases. In the first phase, maximum-likelihood
English translations of the Vietnamese subject words are given. For all the
languages covered in Webster’s Online Dictionary translations are determined
using rather massive content analyses of translations from various sources
including translations of United Nations documents, translations of the Holy
Bible (and similar sources), training manuals, popular works, and academic

iv

sources. An English translation having the highest probability of being used is
reported first, then the second most probable is reported second, and so on.

In the second phase, English synonyms for all parts of speech, including those
not related to the original Vietnamese subject, are given for each English
translation generated by the first phase. If an English entry is most used as a
certain part of speech (estimated based on an English language corpus), then
English synonyms for that part of speech are listed first. This indicates to the
speaker of Vietnamese how the English subject word is most used. Other parts of
speech are listed based on their frequency of usage in English. Within each part
of speech, synonyms most likely to be used in English are listed first. Readers
who seek further information on any of the words in this book, including
translations to other world languages, can freely refer to Webster’s Online
Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org).

The goal of Webster’s Online Dictionary is to give all people of the world free
access to a complete mapping of all known words to and from all written
languages. In fulfillment of this goal, Webster’s Online Dictionary
(www.websters-online-dictionary.org) also offers as much information as
possible for each word, including definitions, translations, images, trade name
usage, quotations, and encyclopedic knowledge. The proceeds generated by the
sale of this Vietnamese–English thesaurus dictionary as well as other books
extracted from the project will be used to augment the contents of the Webster’s
Webster’s Online Dictionary.

This book may be the first Vietnamese-English thesaurus ever published. All the

errors and omissions are mine. I will certainly revise and improve this book at

some later date, so if you wish to see better editions published in the future,

please send any suggestions, corrections, or translations to

[email protected]. Thank you for purchasing this book and
