Word lists or glossaries

Definition

The kinds and number of wordlists or glossaries available. A wordlist is differentiated from a dictionary in that wordlists tend to contain only word pairs rather than the necessary information for analysis, transfer or generation. Glossaries, in this context, include phrasal lists and idiom lists. Idioms require special handling in the update case, as will be noted later.
