PREFACE This is an English thesaurus designed for Irish speakers who wish to better understand the ambiguities and richness of the English language. The first chapter is a full English thesaurus organized by 6005 Irish subject words. For each Irish 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 Irish subject word has a unique part of speech). This process results in over 18345 English synonyms. The second chapter gives an index of these English synonyms back to the Irish subject words (a potentially useful chapter to English speakers interested in basic Irish 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 Irish 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 Irish) when “b” (in English) has synonyms (“c”) having many parts of speech? Furthermore, what if “a” (in Irish) 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 Irish 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 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.

iv
In the second phase, English synonyms for all parts of speech, including those not related to the original Irish 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 Irish 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.webstersonline-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 Irish–English thesaurus dictionary as well as other books extracted from the project will be used to augment the contents of the Webster’s Online Dictionary. This book may be the first Irish-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
