Maximizing Dictionary




The distinction between a maximizing dictionary and a Minimizing Dictionary is also important in connection with specialized dictionaries. A law dictionary that contains more than 20000 entry words is a maximizing dictionary, as it attempts to include nearly all legal terms. This should be contrasted with a law dictionary that contains 2000 words, which is a minimizing in that it cannot reasonably be claimed to cover more than a limited number of legal terms.
