Abstract

The research aims to trace the methods of explaining the meaning - basic and auxiliary - in Persian dictionaries through the model chosen by the researcher “soxhn”
The basic methods of explaining the meaning in the dictionaries are: Explanation by definition, Explanation by specifying semantic components, Explanation by mentioning word contexts, Explanation by mentioning the synonym or counterpoint
The main method that I relied on ”soxhn” is the definition
The definition of” soxhn” was characterized by great shortness and brevity, ease and clarity. It is also concerned with the type of word in the explanation.
