How can you use “macrostructure” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Both Longman and W9 estimate their macrostructure ( headwords/entries ) and their microstructure ( definitions ). But what of Cobuild and CED ? What do they mean by references ? In CED the relevant definition of reference seems to be “a book or passage referred to,” or perhaps “a mention or allusion”; in Cobuild , “something such as a number or name that tells you where you can obtain the information that you want, for example from a book, list, or map.
No sooner have we assumed that W9's macrostructure of “Almost 160,000 entries” means vocabulary entries , than we must face the possibility that it includes such other dictionary entries as Harvard U., McGill U ., and Abilene Christian U . Have they been counted in?
And that therefore Longman's macrostructure (number of entries ) is much smaller than that of W9 or CED ? We need to look more closely at the meaning of entry .
So we still have no way of knowing whether Longman's macrostructure is smaller or larger than W9 's!
The macrostructure of the word list should be understood as the arrangement of the lemmata occurring in the word list.
