Bilingual or Multilingual Glossaries
Monolingual Glossaries

A monolingual glossary contains selected specialized or
difficult terms, together with their definitions, from a particular
subject field; it does not aim to include all possible terms in that subject
field.
This kind of glossary is often placed at the back of a monograph. Access

Vocabularies

in two or more languages. Access

| Note: |
The term "dictionary" is not generally used to describe a terminology publication because dictionaries aim to record all meanings of a word (general language). Terminology products limit themselves to one entry per concept within a particular subject field. |
