Product Description

Ìṣura Ọ̀rọ̀ Yorùbá: A Comprehensive Yorùbá Thesaurus is the first thesaurus of the Yorùbá language and the first descriptive thesaurus compiled for any African language. More than a word list, it explores how words connect, evolve, and gain nuance through Yorùbá’s rich semantic relationships.
Featuring hundreds of entries, it classifies synonyms into absolute, partial, and near equivalents, offering an exemplary model for African lexicography. The book not only presents systematic methods of analysis but also investigates the diverse factors that shape synonymy in Yorùbá.
