Vokabulärlexikon

Vokabulärlexikon is a term that refers to a lexicon or dictionary specifically focused on vocabulary. Unlike a general dictionary which might include grammatical information, etymologies, and usage examples, a vokabulärlexikon primarily aims to list and define words within a particular domain, language, or subject. These lexicons are often compiled for educational purposes, such as language learning or the study of specialized fields like medicine, law, or technology. They can be in print or digital format.

The purpose of a vokabulärlexikon is to provide users with a comprehensive collection of terms and their meanings, facilitating understanding and acquisition of new words. This can be particularly useful for learners who are encountering a large number of new terms or for professionals who need to ensure precise use of terminology within their respective industries. The scope of a vokabulärlexikon can vary significantly; some might cover all the vocabulary of a specific language, while others might be highly specialized, focusing on the terminology of a single scientific discipline or a particular literary work. The structure usually involves an alphabetical listing of words with their corresponding definitions.
