Dictionary of the English Language
The "Dictionary of the English Language" is a comprehensive reference book that provides definitions, pronunciations, and usage examples for words in the English language. It serves as an essential tool for understanding vocabulary, grammar, and language structure. The dictionary is often updated to include new words and reflect changes in language usage over time.
