## Word Definition

The Word Definition Area is the part of the display that shows the definition of a word; the word is either that entered in the Input Field, or that clicked in the Word List Area.

The definition shown has several features based upon the markup of the underlying digitized dictionary.

- The headword is shown in larger type at the beginning of the definition.
- The definition is shown in several records; in general, these correspond to different senses of the definition.
- Accompanying each record is a location reference for the record within the scanned image of the text. For example [p=39,2] indicates that the record is found on page 39 in column 2 of the text. By clicking on the page number, the user may view a scanned image of the page. This facility is especially useful when the user suspects some error in the digitization. When such errors are found, the user is encouraged to click the CORRECTIONS button and submit a correction to us.
- Also shown is an internal record identifier (for example [L=7391]). A user submitting a correction should reference this 'L' number, so we will know exactly what needs correcting.
