裏頭 = inside; within

you can replace "in" with "within' (中國語言 as a system)

> 中英字典(裏頭) - Among Chinese-English dictionaries

you can replace "among" with "within" (中英字典 as a category)

> 研究中國方言的人(裏頭) - (Of) those who do research on Chinese dialects

you can replace "of" with "within" (language researchers as a group)
