About thb DictionaryIn this book the main words, or headwords as they are called, are printed in bold type and are followed by the sanne word in brackets divided into parts or syllables. Sometimes two words may look alike, whereas in fact they are not pronounced in the same way, and have different meanings. In such cases, stress marks are shown to help you; for example, conduct (con-duct) and conduct (con-duct) are two separate words with two separate meanings. Instructions are also given as to how to pronounce certain difficult words.Abbreviationsa = adjectiven. = nounusedadv. = adverbprep. = prepositionconj. =conjunctionpron. = pronoune.g. = for examplei/. = verb etc. = and other things
