Dictionaries covers a huge range of topics. There is a reference book for all kind of language. Some common ones are Latin, Greek, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu, and several more. You can find dictionaries online. These dictionaries cover all aspects of the Indo-European languages (Sanskrit, French, German, and English) as well as other languages.
A dictionary is simply a list of words, usually arranged alphabetically, that may contain information on etymology, spelling, usage, etymology, translations, etc. It’s a general reference that reveals important inter-relationships between the data covered and the language used. In order to have a good dictionary, you must have the source document to base it on. The internet is loaded with dictionary articles, but not all are accurate.
Most people use an online dictionary. In an online dictionary, you just type in the word in the search field and the web browser will connect you to a large collection of available English words and their meanings. You might get something useful. But how do you know which one is really a good dictionary? Here are some tips:
Convenient and comprehensive American edition dictionary. This dictionary was published by the American Academy of philology and used the Modern Language Association (MLA) definition of words as they appear in the new edition of the American dictionary. For example, “person” is defined as “a human being,” “mind” is defined as “a brain” and so on. It also contains a large number of other descriptive dictionaries. This makes this an excellent choice for a student who needs a very comprehensive yet convenient dictionary.
Oxford English Dictionary. Another popular choice among students is the standard Oxford English Dictionary. The Oxford Dictionary includes synonyms, antonyms, and adjectives. Unlike the American dictionary, this English dictionary offers word studies along with the meaning of the word and the spelling of the word. Thus you can be certain that the words you look for are indeed in the dictionary.
English/ Welsh dictionaries. Wales has its own set of dictionaries, one of which is the Wales language dictionary. This type of dictionaries differs from the English/English dictionary in that it uses the alphabetical order of the alphabet for both noun and verbs. It also has an extensive glossary. In contrast to the American version of the lexicon, the Wales language dictionary uses the unisex forms of the noun and verb, and it has fully inclusive pronouns.
American Heritage Dictionary. Among all of the dictionaries mentioned so far, this is the most common version used by many Americans. As is the case with most dictionaries, it is based on the English language followed by a syllabification system (it has a dictionary of verbs and adjectives). However, unlike most other dictionaries in America, this one also has a lot of material that was added during the years such as spellings and etymology. It would therefore be more appropriate for those who speak and understand only American English.
Other than these three reference sources, there are other similar kinds of reference sources to use in your search for dictionaries. For example, you could visit the American Printing House for dictionaries, which usually has a good supply of free newspapers and periodicals. It also offers other reference materials such as grammar books, which could be useful if you are looking for a grammar reference. Finally, the best source to go by when looking for dictionaries is the internet. A lot of websites today offer free access to various reference materials that could help you improve your dictionaries.
