10. Application into Practice


During the research I worked with electronic databases and different types of dictionaries: small, medium and large. Each type of dictionary should fulfill its purpose and have its target readers or users.

Small dictionaries are created for students starting to study English and who need to know basic meaning of the words. These dictionaries contain the entry of the type: word for word translation either without examples or with short ones, not sentences. They are usually bilingual.

Medium-size dictionaries are used by students of intermediate and mediate levels of English. They know basic terminology and want to broaden their vocabulary using synonyms, words with a more specific meaning, be able to describe a situation or experience in detail, etc. This type of dictionary contains phonetic transcription, verbal structures, grammatical collocations, and examples in sentences.
