Traditionally, text is stored on computers as a stream of characters. The goal of this research is to store text in a form that facilitates word manipulation whilst reducing storage space. A word list with syntactic linear ordering is stored and words in a text are given two-byte integar codes that point to their respective positions in this list. The implementation of the encoding scheme is described and the performance statistics of this encoding scheme is presented.
