Parts of Speech - This is the category that a word in the dictionary is ascribed in accordance with its syntactic function. - Most dictionaries only have 8 parts of speech, however some have 9.

These are the dictionary form and the traditional form. 1. Dictionary Form - The dictionary form is where you can simply look up the word as you would if you were using a dictionary. - It also provides the antonym of the entry word, meaning the words that are the direct opposite of the entry word. 2. Traditional Form - The traditional form is one wherein you have to look up the word that you are looking for at the back of the thesaurus, at the alphabetical index - The alphabetical index at the back of a traditional thesaurus is there to avoid unnecessary repetition of words. To summarize, a thesaurus is the opposite of a dictionary. You use a dictionary when you know the word but do not know the definition. But you use a thesaurus when you know the definition, but not the word.
