Dictionary
Navigate within the dictionary
The Visual Dictionary Online employs a tree structure. The 15 themes at the top of the structure are divided into sub-themes, then into subjects and sub-subjects. These levels of increasing detail provide access to all of the content screens of the dictionary.
The themes, sub-themes, subjects and sub-subjects in the Visual Dictionary Online are represented by thumbnails, which appear in the center of the screen and provide access to the content of the dictionary. You can navigate within the dictionary by clicking on these thumbnails or by clicking on the themes and sub-themes that appear on the menu on the left side of the screen.
You can also move from one level to another by clicking on a level title. The level titles appear at the top of the content screens and indicate the position in the dictionary structure. Click on a level title or on a sub-theme of the menu on the left side of the screen to access the table of contents for this level.

When there are more than five overviews in this section, you can navigate through the overviews with the arrows. An overview can also appear below the definition of a term when a content screen is directly related to it.
