Fine Distinctions & Subtle Shades of Meaning 📖 (with Eli Burnstein) [960]
Sobre este episodio
<p>A particularly useful and interesting episode for you today - a conversation about English words which are very similar, but crucially, not the same. My guest Eli Burnstein is the author of “Dictionary of Fine Distinctions” - a book which aims to bring clarity to English words. Expect a funny discussion about subtle shades of meaning between words like poison & venom, accuracy & precision, envy & jealousy and many others. Eli is Canadian, now living in London and so he also shares some key features of Canadian English. </p><p>📄 Get the PDF transcript <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Fine-Distinctions-Subtle-Shades-of-Meaning-with-Eli-Burnstein-960.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Fine-Distinctions-Subtle-Shades-of-Meaning-with-Eli-Burnstein-960.pdf</a></p><p>🔗 Episode page on my website <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/11/03/fine-distinctions-subtle-shades-of-meaning-with-eli-burnstein-960/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/11/03/fine-distinctions-subtle-shades-of-meaning-with-eli-burnstein-960/</a></p><p>🏆 LEP Premium <a href="https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium</a></p><p>📗 Get the book in the UK <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/eli-burnstein/9781805227229" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.waterstones.com/book/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/eli-burnstein/9781805227229</a></p><p>📘 Buy the book from Profile Books <a href="https://profilebooks.com/work/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://profilebooks.com/work/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/</a></p><p>📙 Also available on Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Fine-Distinctions-Nuances-Niceties/dp/180522722X/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Fine-Distinctions-Nuances-Niceties/dp/180522722X/</a></p><p>🧔♂️ <a href="https://www.eliburnstein.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.eliburnstein.com/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
