Abstract

Users of computerized dictionaries require powerful and flexible tools for analyzing and manipulating the information in them. This paper discusses a system for grammatically describing and parsing entries from machine-readable dictionary tapes and a lexical data base representation for storing the dictionary information. It also describes a language for querying, formatting, and maintaining dictionaries and other lexical data stored with that representation.
