Autorenporträt

Peter Mark Roget was a distinguished British physician, natural theologian, and lexicographer, celebrated for his creation of 'Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases.' Born on January 18, 1779, in London, Roget had a profound interest in the study of language and the classification of knowledge. He began his notable career in medicine which conferred upon him the respect of his peers and led to his election as a fellow of the Royal Society in 1815. However, his enduring legacy was secured through his scholarly pursuit of the compilation of synonyms, which began as a personal project to combat depression following the death of his wife. His groundbreaking reference work, 'Roget's Thesaurus,' first published in 1852, is heralded for its innovative categorization of words, arranged by ideas rather than strict alphabetical order, a method reflecting his scientific background and systematic thinking. Through its numerous editions and updates, the Thesaurus has become an indispensable tool for writers, speakers, and anyone engaged in the precise use of the English language. Roget's literary accomplishment continues to be celebrated for providing an unparalleled resource for exploring the richness and diversity of language. He passed away on September 12, 1869, but his Thesaurus remains as a testimony to his extraordinary intellectual contribution.
