There are some sources that

we can use to get the meaning
of words.

In connection with the previ-

ous activity, today, we are go-
ing to learn how to use dictio-
naries, thesaurus and other
online sources.
D. Discussing Using Dictionary, Thesaurus,
New Concepts and and Online Sources
Practicing New Skills
1. Using the DICTIONARY
By the way, what is a Dictio-
nary? A dictionary is a book
that contains a list of
words in alphabetical
order and gives their
meanings or gives a
word for them in an-
If you are unable to under- other language.
stand the meaning of an unfa-
miliar word by using context
clues, then you should look up
the word in a dictionary.
Here are tips for proper dictio-
nary usage.
✓ Look at the preface and
notes in your dictionary.
The preface contains ex-
planations about the
various symbols and ab-
breviations. Find out
what your dictionary has
to offer.
✓ Good dictionaries in-
clude all known defini-
tions of a word. When
you are looking up a
word, do not stop after
you have read the first
meaning! Keep reading,
and look for the meaning
that best fits the context
of your sentence.
✓ If the difficult word has a
prefix such as un-- or
mis-, you may have to
look up the root word.
Other Important Entry Ele-
ments
1.1. Guide Words
The words listed in a dictio-
nary are listed in alphabetical
order, letter by letter. Pairs of
guide words are usually at the
top of each set of facing
pages. Guide words list the
first and last defined word to
appear on a page (or facing
pages). Using guide words
helps you quickly locate the
word you seek.

1.2. Main/Word Entries

Main entries are the words
that are explained in a dictio-
nary. These words appear in
boldface (dark) type.
Main entries may be single
words, compound words, ab-
breviations, affixes, or
phrases.
1.3. Parts of Speech The dic-
tionary uses nine abbrevia-
tions for the parts of speech. Noun, pronoun, verb,
What are the parts of speech? adjective, adverb,
preposition, conjunc-
tion, and interjection
n. noun
v.t. transitive verb
adj. adjective
pron. pronoun
interj. interjection
adv. adverb
v.i. intransitive verb
conj. conjunction
prep. preposition
1.4. Restrictive labels
Subject labels tell you that a
word has a special meaning
when used in a particular field
( mus. for music, med. for
medicine, zool. for zoology,
etc. ). Usage labels tell you
how a word is used (slang, col-
loq, for colloquial, dial. for di-
alect, etc.) Geographic labels
tell you in which region of the
country (N.E. for New England,
West, South, etc.) the defini-
tion applies.
1.5. Spelling
Not knowing how to spell a
word can make it difficult to
find in the dictionary, but not
impossible. You will be sur-
prised at how quickly you can
find most words by following
the sounded-out spelling.

Thesauri or The-
The best place to look for syn- sauruses
onyms and antonyms is the
thesaurus.
A thesaurus is, in a sense, the
opposite of a dictionary. You
go to a dictionary when you
know the word but need the
definition. You go to a the-
saurus when you know the
definition but need the word.
For example, you might want a
word that means fear, the kind
of fear that causes more worry
than pain. You need the word
to complete the following sen-
tence:
"Ginny experienced a certain
amount of(fear) over the up-
coming exam." The Dictionary and
The thesaurus comes in two Traditional Forms.
forms. What are these?

That is right. Dictionary Form

and Traditional Form.
If it is in dictionary form, you
simply look up the word fear
as you would in a dictionary.
If, however, you have a tradi-
tional thesaurus, you need to
first look up the word in the
alphabetical INDEX at the back
of the thesaurus. You might
find this entry for fear in the
index.
FEAR 860
Fearful painful 830
timid 862
The numbers after fear are
GUIDE NUMBERS, not page
numbers. If you look up num-
ber 860 in the body of the the-
saurus, you will find a long list
of synonyms for the word fear:

These include fearfulness,

timidity, diffidence,
apprehensiveness, solicitude,
anxiety, mistrust, suspicion,
and qualm.
So, instead of using the word
“fear,” the sentence becomes
more appropriate by using a
synonymous word:
"Ginny experienced a certain
amount of anxiety over the
upcoming exam."

3. Using the INTERNET
What are the search engines
that we can use to find infor-
mation online?
 The internet provides many
different types of information.
Besides the dictionary and a
thesaurus, definitions of terms
may also be searched via the
World Wide Web.

Here are some of the websites

that you can use to look for
word meanings:

A dictionary is a collec-
tion of words along
with their meaning,
definition and descrip-
tion of usage. A the-
saurus presents words
as "word families,"
listing their synonyms
without explaining
their meanings or us-

both dictionary and

internet with a wide
range of information.

ence. Configuration clues
(boxed letters) are also given.
