How to use a dictionary


Dictionaries are organized alphabetically, so start with the first letter of the word that you are trying to find.


'Alliteration' is going to be in the first section of the dictionary under 'a'.


There will be lots of entries for each letter of the alphabet, so use the guide word at the top of the page to help you. The guide word tells you what the first or last word on that page of the dictionary is.


You will need to look at the second letter of the word, and then the third, and so on, in order to find it. It takes a little practice to find words quickly.


You may need to scan several pages of the dictionary in order to find the word that you need. Scanning is a way of reading quickly to find the information that you need. The more you practice, the better you will get at finding words fast.



Word types


When you find your word, there may be an abbreviation next to it. Perhaps vb., n., or adj. The introduction to your dictionary will tell you what they each mean because every dictionary is different, but these are the most common and may indicate that your word is a verb, a noun, or an adjective.



Different meanings


Some words have multiple meanings. These will usually be numbered, and may have an example of the way that the word can be used in a sentence.


Some dictionaries may give even more information; perhaps about the origin and history of a word, or some of its synonyms (words or phrases which mean the same, or nearly the same).

How a dictionary helps


A good dictionary is not just a list of isolated words with their meanings or translations. Indeed, it can be argued that a word in isolation has no definite meaning: the meaning only becomes apparent when the word is placed in context.



The job of the dictionary is to place a word in each of its possible contexts and explain its meaning in each case. In order to do this successfully, the dictionary needs to be based on the analysis of words in real text and communication.


  • A dictionary can be used to look up the meaning of a word.

  • You can also use a dictionary to check the spelling of a word.

  • Dictionaries may also give other information about words, such as word type and word origin.

CD ROM Dictionary:


The CD-ROM offers :


• pronunciation guides (usually for both British and American

language)

• electronic writing tools

• quick find (clicking on a word in a text gives its definition)
• picture dictionaries (mostly in color)
• extra grammar and vocabulary exercises (to enhance learning)
• vocabulary notes (an electronic version of a vocabulary diary)
• wildcard functions (looking up words without knowing their exact spelling).



Dictionary features:


1-Corpus-based dictionaries


Thus, definitions for a word are sequenced based on their frequency of use, and example sentences in corpus-based dictionaries are authentic.


This sequencing makes it easy for learners of English to focus first on frequent words and meanings that will give them the most mileage.


2-Word frequency


Knowing whether a word is used a lot ) or a little in overall written and spoken discourse is very helpful information to English learners; that makes corpus-based dictionaries a must for the ESL/EFL classroom.

3-Collocations


With the use of corpora, lexicographers identify collocations (word combinations that normally go together) and incorporate them into learner dictionaries.


4-Authentic examples


For EFL learners another advantage of learner dictionaries over their general-use counterparts is the abundance of example sentences. In addition to definitions, learner dictionaries include “authentic examples to illustrate the use of words in context”.


5-Topical vocabulary


Another useful element corpus-based learner dictionaries offer for

vocabulary learning is the way they present topical vocabulary by

indicating how the words relate semantically to different categories.

For example, in the LDCE, students can see that the word

vocabulary belongs to the two topical groups “Linguistics” and “Language.

” Other dictionaries provide synonyms and semantic webs to indicate

different word usages and to illustrate how a single word relates to

different concepts.

How children use a dictionary:



1-Find an appropriate dictionary. It is difficult for children to learn straight out of you favorite full-size Merriam Webster dictionary,
so make sure you have a children's dictionary. It is best if the
dictionary has pictures, color, clearly labeled headings, and
an easy to read font.


2-Read with your child. Find a book that is slightly above their
reading level, and ask them to read it to you. When they stumble
on a word the don't know, ask them what they think the meaning is.
If they say 'I don't know', help them to use context clues first.
If they still cannot work it out, then get the dictionary.



3-Explain to them what a dictionary is, and how it can be useful. Depending on the age of the child, say something like "This is a dictionary.  It is a helpful book we can use when we don't know the meaning of a word or we don't know how to spell something."



4-To start teaching them how to use the dictionary, start by just
letting them look at it for a minute. When they start to get bored
of this, go back to the unfamiliar word and ask if they think the dictionary can help them to find out what it means.
  Encourage them to say yes.




5-Next, explain that the dictionary goes by the alphabet.
Ask them what letter their word begins with, and then help
them to find that letter in the dictionary. Then explain that
you have to find the second letter of the word, and so on.


For example, if their word was reptile, help them find the
letter r.Then tell them to find the 're' section. Keep doing
this ('rep', 'rept', etc.) until they find the word.


6-Ask them to read you the definition. Now they know what
the word means. Go back to the book, and keep reading,
until you have found three words they need to look up.
