Classification

This research focused on classification of English words, Indo-European roots and interim transitional words. First, I will describe the method of classification used. Presently, English words are classified as an editor's original pattern, part of speech, and origin of words, etc. Classification of parts of speech is suitable for exams or short time remembrance, but is unsuitable for a deep understanding of English words or long time remembrance; therefore, I did not select this method. Classification with origin of words is not suitable for the Hyper Dictionary became English words included in the Hyper dictionary have already been classified by Indo-European roots. I didn't have right or license to classify English words originally, so I classified English words with definite meanings[2][5][6][7][8]. Definite categories pertain to special fields. I added meanings of English words included in various categories by expanding the searching function so users can know the special word meanings and understand the words more deeply. Equally, I classified Indo-European roots and interim transitional words in case the meanings of these words can be classified into categories used in English words. (Please refer to Table 2 for a list of classified fields.) Next, 74 percent of 17000 English words were classified.
