How to Use Dictionaries
1. d) Why We Use Dictionaries
All kinds of information are waiting for you in dictionaries. You can find out what the words mean, how to spell them, how to pronounce them and where they come from. So when we look a word up2 we should know where and how to find the information we need.
2. a) Kinds of Dictionaries
There really isn’t anything difficult about learning how dictionaries work. The most popular kinds of dictionaries are monolingual and bilingual. It is very important for every English learner to be able to use monolingual English dictionaries.
3. f) The Structure of Dictionaries
This is what you need to know if you work with a monolingual dictionary. The words you are looking up are in heavy black, blue or red letters. These words with the information about them are word entries1. The entries follow each other alphabetically from A to Z.
4. b) How Words Sound
After the word many dictionaries tell you how to pronounce it. They do it with the help of transcriptions. They also tell you to what part of speech the word belongs. For example, n (noun), adj (adjective) .
5. e) What Words Tell Us
Then comes the information about the meaning of the word. For example, baboon a large monkey that has a face like a dog’s. Many words have more than one meaning. Dictionaries give different meanings under numbers. For example, hand n 1. The end part of the arm 2. A part of a clock that shows hours. Usually the first meaning is the meaning which people use most often. Some dictionaries give you examples of how to use words in sentences. Language learners find it very helpful because such examples make a word’s meaning clearer.
6. c) How Words Appear and Develop
A lot of words have interesting stories to tell us. Some of them come to the English language from other languages. Words sometimes change their meanings. There are dictionaries which tell you about these facts. So dictionaries are not only useful, they can become great reading.
