The Well-Spoken Thesaurus
''The Well-Spoken Thesaurus'' by Tom Heehler (Sourcebooks 2011), is an American style guide and speaking aid. The ''Chicago Tribune'' calls ''The Well-Spoken Thesaurus'' "a celebration of the spoken word".〔Chicago Tribune http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/tribu/ct-tribu-words-work-wellspoken-20110907,0,1324710.story〕 The book has also been reviewed in the ''Winnipeg Free Press'', and by bloggers at the ''Fayetteville Observer'',〔Fayetteville Observer http://blogs.fayobserver.com/rundus/August-2011/Spoken-English-Bespoken-by-A-Young-Harvard-Univers〕 and the ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer''.〔Seattle Post-Intelligencer http://blog.seattlepi.com/thewritersblock/2011/05/20/book-review-the-well-spoken-thesaurus/〕
== Content ==
The book consists of two sections—a 50-page style guide entitled "Rhetorical Form and Design", and a 350-page thesaurus section. However, what distinguishes this thesaurus from all conventional thesauri is the inclusion of what the author calls rhetorically related words, or ''powernyms''—as opposed to merely synonymous words. According to Heehler, these powernyms allow users to more readily transform rough drafts into more eloquent improvements.
In "Rhetorical Form and Design," Heehler serves up 17 lessons from such writers and speakers as T.S. Eliot, Margaret Atwood, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr., and Cintra Wilson. Rhetorical and literary techniques covered include the objective correlative, rhetorical objectification, verb displacement, rhetorical agency, rhetorical tension, poetic articles, preposition exchange, creative number, and intuitive description.
