Additional functions

This year, the Hyper English Dictionary added four major features; (1) links were added from English words to example sentences; (2) sound data of English words; (3) groups of English words; and (4) search functions by suffixes. These alterations make it easier for learners to search and understand English words. In this thesis, I focus on adding search functions by suffixes.

Table 1: Functions of Hyper English Dictionary
Number of English words 20000
Number of stems 97
Number of example sentences 10669
Number of preffixes 72
Number of suffixes 345
Number of roots 1350
