[4」 。 Ta word's meammng is its dictionary definition, then understanding this meaning involves understanding the meanings of the words used in the definitions. But understanding the meanings of these words must involve understanding the meanings of the words in 妨e7 definitions. And understanding 7ese definitions must involve understanding the words they use, which of course would have to involvye understanding even more definitions. The process is never-ending. [5] Sometimes the circularity* of a set of dictionary definitions is apparent by looking up just a few words. For instance, one English dictionary defines gzozze as being or having the nature of a deity*、 but defines gez/y as "divinity*. Another defines przde as the quality or state of being proud', but defines proxd as *feeling or showing pride'、Examples hke these are especially graphic\。but essentially the same problem holds for any dictionary-style definition. Dictionaries are written to be of practical aid to people who already speak the language, not to make theoretical claims about the nature of meaning. People can and do learn the meanings of some words through dictionary definitions, so Would be unfair to say that such definitions are completely unable to characterize the meanings of words, but it should be clear that dictionary definitions cant be all there is to the meanings of all the words in a language.
