Encyclopaedic means that the dictionary’s entries will not present linguistic facts (grammar, syntactic or stylistic features – as linguistic dictionaries do), but will describe the meaning of the entry words1. So the dictionary will answer the question of how a given word works in an individual languages and what it means, rather than what its linguistic features are.
