Dictionaries have been developed and revival over time to meet the needs of learners of English as a second or foreign language.
This study presents the effects of mother tongue interference on the academic performance of secondary school students in English language as second language.
There are two groups of users whose needs have been carefully considered and for whom dictionaries have been specifically tailored:
1) Children
2) Learners
We need to study etymology to determine the true meaning of words and their functions in a sentence.
Etymology has no place in a general-purpose dictionary, and it should be left to historical or specialist dictionaries. Learners' dictionaries do not contain etymological information, though its exclusion from these dictionaries has been challenged (Ellegård 1978; Ilson 1983). Of the three Collins dictionaries.
The study of the origin and history of a word. It comes to us through Latin, with the Greek origin of (e´tymon “original form” + logia “study of”).
Etymology is, in a way, similar to archeology; since they both depend on existing evidence in order to explain a current form.
Each language has its complex history where the origin is broken down and changed through time. For instance, English went through Old, Middle and Modern eras reaching its contemporary form.
