Appendix
The Longman Defining Vocabulary The Longman Defining Vocabulary of around 2000 common words has been used to write all the definitions in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (1995 edition or later editions).The words in the Defining Vocabulary have been carefully chosen to ensure that the definitions are clear and easy to understand, and that the words in explanations are easier than the words being defined. There is a similar list of Defining Vocabulary used by Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary; it is almost 95% the same as Longman's. You find the Defining Vocabulary list at the end of a dictionary. The words listed below are the main forms which are used in definitions. However, there are other limits on which word forms and meanings may be used:
The definitionn only use the most common and 'central' meanings of the words in the list. For some words in the list, a word class label such as N or A is shown in italics. The labels are shown before the list. Some words on the list may have have prefixes(like un-) or suffixex(like –ly) added to them to make different word forms in the definition. The list of the affixes is included at the end of the Defining Vocabulary. The Defing Vocabulary does not include the name of actual places, nationalities, religions, and so on, which are occasionally mentioned in definitions.
In order to use the dictionary more effectively, we suggest that you make a list of the Defining Vocabulary and test yourself of the meanings. An average Iranian college student knows the meanings of around 1200 of the words in the list. So you can put some time and effort to learn the rest. By doing this, you will be able to understand most of the definitions of new words in almost all learners dictionaries without referring to an EnglishPersian Dictionary.
