TheSage's English Dictionary and Thesaurus |
As a co-editor of TheSage's English Dictionary and Thesaurus, I am pleased to make available to everyone this 21st century lexical reference system that integrates a complete dictionary and a multifaceted thesaurus of the English language.
TheSage can look up words directly from almost any program (IE, Word, Firefox, Outlook, Thunderbird,... ) and is 100% portable.

It is best to think of TheSage as two different systems: a knowledge database and a multi-tool interface.
The knowledge database consists of a tightly integrated English dictionary and thesaurus. TheSage's index contains roughly 250,000 words and its dictionary approximately 320,000 senses, 86,000 etymologies, 70,000 examples of use, and 180,000 phonetic transcriptions. TheSage's thesaurus contains approximately 1,900,000 relationships between words and definitions, from synonyms and antonyms to hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, holonyms, etc. As a corpus, TheSage is comprised of approximately 14.1 million words.
The interface allows the user to extract and collect information from the knowledge database in a variety of ways. This is accomplished by means of the tools shown in the left Navigation panel.
TheSage's documentation is available online here.
