1. Word: The definition of a word comprises the following points: (1) a minimal free form of a language; (2) a sound unity; (3) a unit of meaning; (4) a form that can function alone in a sentence. Therefore, a word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function. 2. Reference: Reference is the relationship between language and the world. By means of reference, a speaker indicates which things in the world are being talked about In other words, only when a connection has been established between the linguistic sign and a referent does the sign become meaningful.

The monolingual dictionary is rather a late development because the earliest dictionaries were all bilingual. Bilingual dictionaries involve two languages. The main entries are generally defined or explained in the same language with translations; Another kind of bili …… 此处隐藏：3517字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
