Limitation to and Countermeasures of Dictionary Compilation against Pluralism and Popularization of Terms-- Take the English Names for ＂Faren＂ for Example
There is limitation to the pluralism and popularization of terms, that is, the processes can not violate monosemy of terms, which should be differentiated by dictionary compliers. It is a dictionary＇s responsibility to tell a real term from its fake terms and variants （synonyms） and give readers clear instruction. A new dictionary, before embodying terms, should handle well the relationships between using frequency and etymon, general document and dictionary, general dictionary and special dictionary. The latter of each pair of the relationships is the gist. The criteria to judge the validity of a term are its monosemy, originativeness, or whether the term can reflect the essence of the notion.
