This study was conducted to investigate the effect of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries on the recognition and recall of abstract and concrete words by Iranian high school students. To this end, a sample of 60 high school students in Abhar city participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to two groups and were presented with 120 new concrete and abstract vocabulary items; one group used only a monolingual dictionary and the other only a bilingual dictionary. Two separate two-way ANOVA procedures were used to study the effect of such dictionaries on the participants' lexical recognition and recall. Results indicated that the bilingual dictionary group had a better performance than the monolingual dictionary group on the vocabulary recognition test and that word type had no effect on the comprehension of new words. Results also indicated that neither dictionary type nor word type was effective in vocabulary production.
