Features: This book explores the dictionary structure system by taking word-form as the basic unit of language and dictionary. It extends word-form theory in the monolingual and bilingual systems of synchronic dictionaries and the diachronic dictionary system. By investigating the derivation methods of Chinese word-forms and analyzing practical issues in the definitions of ancient and modern dictionaries, it discusses how to optimize dictionary definitions.
