1. According to the scope of their word-list linguistic dictionaries are divided into general and restricted.

General dictionariesrepresent the vocabulary as a whole with a degree of completeness depending upon the scope and the bulk of the book in question. The group includes the volumes of The Oxford English Dictionary alongside with any miniature pocket dictionary. Some general dictionaries may have very specific aims and still be considered general due to their coverage. They include, for instance, frequency dictionaries. Dictionaries of word-frequency inform the user as to the frequency of occurrence of lexical units in speech, to be more exact in the corpus of the reading matter or in the stretch of oral speech on which the word-counts are based (e.g. A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English by Mark Davies, Dee Gardner).
