| − | A '''dictionary''' is a book that contains an [[alphabet]]ized listing of ideally all known words in a particular language. Typically, the meanings of the words are given along with their origin, pronunciation, [[part of speech]], and plurals. Some dictionaries also include example sentences or words translated from other languages. The creation of dictionaries can be a dynamic process, due to languages continually developing new words. | + | A '''dictionary''' is a book that contains an [[alphabet]]ized listing of ideally all known words in a particular language.
