CHAPTER ONE

General Introduction

1.1 Introduction

A dictionary is a collection of words in one or more specific

languages often alphabetically containing a selection of the words

of a language, giving information about their meanings,

pronunciations, etymologies, inflected forms, derived forms, etc.,

expressed in either the same or another language; lexicon;

glossary. Print dictionaries of various sizes, ranging from small

pocket dictionaries to multivolume books, usually sort entries

alphabetically, as do typical CD or DVD dictionary applications,

allowing one to browse through the terms in sequence. All

electronic dictionaries, whether online or installed on a device, can

provide immediate, direct access to a search term, its meanings,

and ancillary information [3].

2.2 Types of dictionaries [4]

1- Legal dictionary

A specialized dictionary covering terms used in the various branches

of the legal profession, as civil law, criminal law, and corporate law. A

comprehensive legal dictionary adds to its body of Standard English

entries many words and phrases that have made their way into

modern legal practice from law French and Latin and are rarely

found in a general English monolingual dictionary. Such a specialized

dictionary is useful not only for law students and for attorneys

themselves, but for members of the lay public who require legal

services. Legal dictionaries published in print follow the normal

practice of sorting entry terms alphabetically, while electronic

dictionaries, such as the online Dictionary of Law on Dictionary.com,

allow direct, immediate access to a search term

2- Medical dictionary

A specialized dictionary covering terms used in the health professions by

doctors, nurses, and others involved in allied health care services. A

dictionary with authoritative spellings and definitions is a particularly

crucial resource in medicine, where a misspelling or misunderstanding

can have unfortunate consequences for people under care. Print

dictionaries in this field may be sorted alphabetically or may be

categorized according to medical specializations or by the various

systems in the body, as the immune system and the respiratory system.

The online Medical Dictionary on Dictionary.com allows alphabetical

browsing in the combined electronic versions of more than one

authoritative medical reference, insuring access to correct spellings, as

well as immediate, direct access to a known search term typed into the

search box on the site

14

3-online dictionary

A dictionary that is available on the Internet or World Wide Web

and accessed through a Web browser using a computer or a

mobile device, primarily by typing a query term into a search box

on the site. Online dictionaries like Dictionary.com offer

immediate, direct access through large databases to a word's

spelling and meanings, plus a host of ancillary information,

including its variant spellings, pronunciation, inflected forms,

origin, and derived forms, as well as supplementary notes on

matters of interest or concern about how the word is used like

the Google translate.

4-science dictionary

A specialized dictionary covering terms in the life, earth, and physical

sciences, such as the online Science Dictionary on Dictionary.com. A

science dictionary includes many technical terms with precise,

specialized meanings-terms not normally found in general dictionaries-

making it an invaluable resource for students and professionals in

scientific fields.

15

5-slang dictionary

A specialized dictionary covering the words, phrases, and idioms that

reflect the least formal speech of a language. These terms are often

metaphorical and playful, and are likely to be evanescent as the spoken

language changes from one generation to another. Much slang belongs

to specific groups, as the jargon of a particular class, profession, or age

group. Some is vulgar. Some slang terms have staying power as slang,

but others make a transition into common informal speech, and then

into the standard language. An online slang dictionary, such as the

Dictionary.com Slang Dictionary, provides immediate information about

the meaning and history of a queried term and its appropriateness or

lack of appropriateness in a range of social and professional

circumstances.

6-synonym dictionary

A dictionary such as Thesaurus.com that, for each entry word, lists other

words with the same or nearly the same meanings, as well as antonyms,

words with the opposite meaning. Synonym dictionaries that are

published as books are usually organized alphabetically. In contrast, a

print thesaurus is often organized by categories of words. An online

thesaurus provides immediate, direct access to the search word with its

synonyms and antonyms.

16

7-crossword dictionary

A dictionary that lists common clues found in crossword puzzles with

potential answer words. In books, the lists are usually sorted by the

number of letters in the answer, while an online crossword dictionary,

such as the Dictionary.com Crossword Solver, is able to analyze queries

electronically, examining either the clue or the number and pattern of

letters already filled in to arrive at suggested answers.

8-dictionary of names

a dictionary of given names that indicates whether a name is usually

male, female, or unisex and often includes origins as well as meanings;

for example, as by indicating that Evangeline, meaning "good news,"

comes from Greek. Used primarily as an aid in selecting a name for a

baby, dictionaries of names may also include lists of famous people who

have shared a name and information about its current popularity

ranking .

9-English dictionary

a dictionary in which most of the entry words and all of their definitions,

as well as supplementary material, are in English. Terms from other

languages that are commonly used by speakers of English are given

language labels and often the associated foreign as well as Anglicized

pronunciations; a monolingual English dictionary, such as the online

resource Dictionary.com.

17

CHAPTER THREE

Implementation of dictionary

3.1 system design and implementation

Electronic dictionary is used to find the meanings of words

more easily the biggest, accuracy and speed in finding the

meanings of the word you want, through the introduction of

the desired word in the search box.

This chapter presents an interface for our project .The

system was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic 8(VB8) and

Microsoft Office Access 2007 Database We used the Visual

Basic (VB8) so as to provide the interfaces required for the

development work and we linked it with Microsoft Office

Access 2007 suitability for programmatically.

3.2 The steps of practical application

In this section we will see how we started the idea and how

we developed this system.

(The contains of table in Microsoft access)

3.2.1 Method of linking

We use database in order to document all parts, details and work of

dictionary. To build a database that satisfy all requirement and needs of

the system so we use Microsoft access 2007 as a basic tool to build our

database.

19

Figure (3-1) database contain

3.2.2 Linking with Microsoft Visual Basic 8:

After that we have completed the database we started work program

that associates the database by Microsoft Visual Basic 6 which provides

us with some of the objects are characterized Data & ADO objects a lot

of features ADO but due to the ease data objects .
