The document compares and contrasts glossaries and dictionaries in 3 key areas: 1. Glossaries compile definitions for terms within a specific topic or text, while dictionaries aim to define all words in a language generally. 2. Glossaries provide supplementary information about a research topic, while dictionaries give word meanings, spellings, pronunciations and etymologies. 3. The advantages of glossaries are allowing faster searching within a topic and providing context, while dictionaries can define any unknown word but may lack new additions or pronunciation guides.
