Language books
Language
books
are useful for beginners learning a foreign language, for refreshing your
memory in a language, or as a reference resource. They are available for all levels
of understanding, all ages and languages. These books will usually focus on
a combination of language aspects, including grammar, vocabulary, reading
comprehension and aural. Often language books will include a tape, CD, DVD,
or video for teaching pronunciation, aural comprehension and for interactive
practice on a computer.
Another form of language books are bi-lingual or multilingual fiction books,
such as novels and children's storybooks. These books often have one page in
the foreign language, while the opposing page provides a translation of the
text.
Dictionaries and Thesauruses
There are three basic types of dictionary: the compact, historical and
general purpose dictionary. The compact dictionary is a smaller version that
is somewhat limited in the scope of its content. Whereas the historical
dictionary is an exhaustive volume that specialises in the history of words,
outlining where words come from and how they acquired their present meaning.
The functions of the general purpose dictionary are to provide definitions,
proper pronunciation, correct spelling and derivations as well as any
restrictive labels attached to a word.
Pronunciation of a particular word may vary from region to region, so a
dictionary will give the generally accepted pronunciation. There are at
least 47 sounds in the English language which are represented in
dictionaries by using accent marks above emphasized letters. The dictionary
will provide an explanatory table to explain the system used. The dictionary
will use italics to indicate the syllable in a word to be stressed.
Etymology, the study of word derivation, is a feature of your dictionary. If
a word is marked 'informal', 'colloquial' or 'slang' it should not be used in
formal settings. These labels signal caution in their use.
A thesaurus has a listing of words with similar, related, or opposite
meanings. Words are not listed alphabetically but conceptually and are a
great resource for writers.
