Rječnik sinonima hrvatskoga jezika

This is the second, revised and enlarged edition of this dictionary, first published in 2003. This is the first and so far only Croatian dictionary of its kind. It consists of two parts: dictionary entries in the first part, followed by an index in the second part that makes it possible to find every word listed in the dictionary. It combines a cumulative and explanatory dictionary: each entry contains a list of words that are synonyms or near-synonyms of the headword. For polysemous words, different senses of the word are distinguished and a list of synonyms given for each sense. Examples of usage, clear and easily understood explanations, and definitions illustrate the use of the word or a list of words. There is a demarcation between formal and informal usage. Labels indicate when words are used in particular (often technical) fields. This dictionary is useful for everyone involved with the language and faced with seeking alternatives or substitutions for words or expressions.
