Abstract
A method and system are provided for finding synonyms which are more contextually relevant to the intended use of a particular word. The system finds a list of synonyms for the input word and also finds a list of synonyms for an additional word entered by the user to approximate the intended usage of the input word. These two lists of synonyms are compared to find words common to both lists, and the common words are presented to the user as potential synonyms which are appropriate for the intended use.
