The definition models of nouns in the Oxford First Dictionary

Abstract

In linguistic explanatory dictionaries, definition is an indispensable element in the microstructure of each type of entry. The Oxford First Dictionary, edited by Evelyn Goldsmith and illustrated by Julie Park, is a publication by Oxford University Press for children aged 5 years and over. In this dictionary, the nouns that refer to people, things, places, etc. have the largest number of entries and definitions. That is the reason why this article would like to introduce the research results on the definition models of nouns in this dictionary.
