从功能来看，词典可以分为“查词”词典和“找词”词典。前者的功能是：当读者遇到生词时，它能告诉这个生词的意义、读音和用法，就这个词论这个词。这种词典是读者们非常熟悉的通用词典。后者的功能是：当读者萌生某种想法而不知用什么词汇表达时，它能帮助读者通过联想找到所需要的特定单词和相关词汇，提供更广泛的语言知识和文化知识。这种词典是读者们不很熟悉的联想词典。Oxford Learner’s Wordfinder Dictionary《牛津英语联想词典》就是一部新颖的联想词典。
这部词典有三个功能：
1.帮助读者查找所需要的一个特定单词；
2.帮助读者搜集与某个特定话题领域相关的词汇；
3.帮助读者通过自由查阅不同的话题领域来扩大词汇量。
这部词典有三个特色：
1.调动读者的思维能力，发挥联想的作用。词典的23个意义相关的话题领域，提供了大量的生动的语境。查找所需要的特定单词，将孤立的单词置于广泛的语境之中，将相关的词汇放在一起，联系记忆，联系学习，举一反三，学一知三。
2.集词汇与知识于一体。词汇是知识的载体。词汇系统是知识体系的反映。掌握大量词汇，表明拥有丰富知识。扩大词汇量，表明扩大知识面。学习词汇，离不开联想；获取知识，也离不开联想。在查阅词汇过程中，读者可以系统学习相关知识，增大词汇量，扩大知识面。
3.熔语言与文化于一炉。在查阅词汇过程中，读者可以全面了解词汇的文化含义，掌握词汇在一定文化背景下的准确意义和用法。将学习英语与学习英语国家的文化结合起来，在扩大语言知识的同时，扩大文化知识。
这部词典的特色就是联想。联想是独立思考和原创思维的表现。一个富于联想和善于联想的人，常常是肯于独立思考和具有创新精神的人。学会使用这部词典有助于培养联想能力。
