A dictionary (also called a word stock, word reference, word book, lexicon or vocabulary) is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, often listed alphabetically (or by radical and stroke for ideographic languages), with usage information, definitions, etymologies, phonetics, pronunciations, and other information; or a book of words in one language with their equivalence in another, also known as a lexicon. According to Neilsen (2008) a dictionary may be regarded as a lexicographical product that is characterized by three significant features : (1) It has been prepared for one or more functions; (2) It contains data that have been selected for the purpose of fulfilling those functions; and (3) its lexicographic structures link and establish relationships between the data so that they can meet the needs of users and fulfill the functions f the dictionary.
