    DICTIONARY

    DEFINITION:

    “A dictionary is a collection of words and their definitions (and sometimes other information).
    Such collections are usually printed as books, but some are now designed for use on
    computers” (MIFFLIN, 2018, parr. 1)

    Dictionary originally came from the Latin word dictionarius, meaning "a manual


    or book of words." (MIFFLIN,2018, parr. 2)

    A dictionary is most commonly used to look up the definitions of


    particular words, but other information, such as etymology and
    usage guidelines, often appears as well. Electronic dictionaries
    can include even more information, like slang and popular texting
    acronyms, such as "ttyn," which stands for "talk to you never.”
    (MIFFLIN, 2018, parr. 3)

    TYPES:

    Bilingual Dictionary: “A bilingual dictionary gives words in two languages. Each language is


    grouped alphabetically in separate halves of the book, with translations into the other
    language”. (English Grammar: Bilingual Dictionaries, parr.1)

    Monolingual Dictionary: “A monolingual dictionary uses the same language for the words and


    their definitions”.( English Grammar: Monolingual Dictionaries, parr.1)

    Etymological Dictionary: “An etymological dictionary traces a word's development over time,


    giving historical examples to show changes”. (English Grammar: Etymological Dictionaries,
    parr.1)

    Crossword Dictionary: “A crossword dictionary has words grouped together by the number


    of letters in the word to help people find words of a certain length to complete their crossword
    puzles”. (English Grammar: Crossword Dictionaries, parr.1)

    Rhyming Dictionary: “A Rhyming Dictionary is one where words are grouped together by their
    end sounds. When two words end with the same sound, they rhyme, used more frequently
    in poetry than prose as an effect”( English Grammar: Rhyming Dictionary, parr.1)

    Mini-Dictionary: “A mini-dictionary is a little dictionary, also called a pocket dictionary”( English


    Grammar: Mini-Dictionary, parr.1)

    Pocket Dictionary : “A pocket dictionary is a small portable dictionary designed to be carried


    around. Consequently, they often have tough covers to withstand the perils of travelling”.
    (English Grammar: Pocket Dictionary, parr.1)

    Thesaurus: “A thesaurus is a book that organises words by categories and concepts,


    so synonyms and near-synonyms will be grouped together”. (English Grammar: Thesaurus,
    parr.1)

    Glossary: “A glossary is a list of words or phrases used in a particular field with their
    definitions. Glossaries are often found at the back of a specialist or academic book as an
    appendix to the text”. (English Grammar: Glossary, parr.1)
