The dictionary, according to Kirkness, is an essential source, if not indeed the principal source, of information on language for all members of literate societies who might have questions on any aspect of the form, meaning, and/or use of a word or words in their own or in another language. (p. 54) Seen from this perspective, dictionaries are vital tools invoked by language users in a range of situations when they are seeking clear and definitive answers on problems they encounter with language in use.
