Prototypical Sense Ordering: a New Perspective of Sense Arrangement

Based on the prototype theory,Oxford American College Dictionary adopts prototypical sense ordering,a new ordering method by which core senses are listed by their sub-senses in chains.This new ordering method is greatly beneficial to foreign language learners' polysemy acquisition,and to a certain extent it makes up for the deficiency of the sense arrangement in today's major English learner's dictionaries.Thus it provides a new perspective of the sense ordering in learner's dictionaries.
