Lextionary
is a dictionary and thesaurus of the English language with features and
content that are far superior to a normal dictionary. Instead of
just organizing words in a plain alphabetic list like other Pocket PC
dictionaries, Lextionary also organizes
words by their semantic meaning. A normal Pocket PC dictionary only gives the
definition of a word, but Lextionary starts with a definition and gives
a multitude of links to others words. These links help define and place
in context the word you are interested in and allow you to explore the
word’s relationship to other words.
If you look up the word bicycle in Lextionary you will get the
definition of bicycle and links that will take you to more specific or
less specific (more general) words. More specific words for bicycle
include mountain bike, tandem and velocipede. More general words for
bicycle include cycle or going even further, wheeled vehicle and
vehicle. Lextionary can also give you words that belong to bicycle:
chain, handlebar, pedal and wheel. A normal dictionary’s definition of
bicycle is not very useful to most people, but with Lextionary a writer
or student has a powerful tool that opens up words and their
relationships to each other.
Lextionary works equally as well for people just learning English, or
for native English speakers looking up a new word for the first time. By
putting a word in context based on its meaning, Lextionary shows the
subtleties of meaning and usage that cannot be conveyed by a definition
alone.
The easiest way to understand the power of Lextionary
is to install it on your Pocket PC and experience first hand the
revolutionary difference from an ordinary dictionary.
