Book Description
Excerpt from The Winston Simplified Dictionary: With Words Defined So That They Can Be Easily Understood Clear and Complete Definitions. One of the most important qualities Of a dictionary should be that the definitions be clear and complete. Many dictionaries have been made by condensing larger ones. This plan is apt to result in definitions that are harder to understand than those of the larger dictionary. For example, a child who finds that contagion means trans mission Of disease will fail to get the idea unless he knows the meaning of transmission If he looks up the next word, contagious, he finds that its meaning is communicable or spreading by contagion. If he is industrious enough to look up transmission, he finds that it means the act of trans mitting; state Of being transmitted. He may look below to the verb trans mit and find the key to his problem; or he may satisfy himself with a guess long before he has run the definition down by repeated references. Verbal Illustrations. Thousands Of words are much more easily under stood from their context in sentences than from formal definitions. For this reason, The Winston Simplified Dictionary gives many more illustrative sentences and phrases than any other similar dictionary. Pictorial Illustrations. In a similar way the meanings Of many words can be immediately made clear by pictures. The illustrations in this dictionary are new pictures prepared for their teaching value in clarifying the meanings Of words that need pictorial illumination.
