@article{2009,title={About Dictionary, Word Meaning And Learning},abstractNode={Dictionaries are basic resources of vocabulary of a language. Vocabulary of a language is made up of rich concepts such as words, idioms, terms, proverbs, stereotyped words, metaphors, and connotations. Rich quality of the vocabulary appears with the use of the language. Elements, such as terms, idioms, metaphors, connotations, dialects, and accents come up through the process of language use. Dictionaries (i.e. dictionary of idioms, dictionary of dialects) are prepared pursuant to this rich composition developed in the world of meanings of a language. Lexicology, which is a sub-branch of linguistics, is interested in development of dictionaries. Many parameters such as origin, meaning, type of a word are considered while preparation of dictionaries. Polysemy is one of the most important points to be considered during development dictionaries. Basic meaning of a word, together with its idioms, connotations, and metaphors has reflections from the conceptual world of a language. Appropriate contexts should be composed to present richness of this world. Samples from literature may be used in composing these contexts. One of main functions of dictionaries is their usage as a teaching-learning material. Statements used for explanation of meanings of words, especially in school and bilingual dictionaries, have effects on learning.},author={Adnan KARADÜZ},year={2009},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
