Dictionary (disambiguation) - Definition and Overview

A dictionary can mean several things:

  • A list of words and their meanings; see dictionary
  • An alphabetical sequence of articles relating to particular topics, eg dictionaries of medicine or engineering. Also biographical dictionaries. These can be regarded as being encyclopaedic in their treatment, being far more than just a list of words and their meaning.
  • In computer science, a "dictionary" is another name for an associative array
