Q1. E-Dictionary OR or Developments in Electronic Dictionary Design

Electronic dictionaries can be found in several forms, including: as dedicated handheld devices as apps on smartphones and tablet computers or computer software as a function built into an E-reader As CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs, they are typically packaged with a printed dictionary to be installed on the user’s own computer. As free or paid-for online products most of the early electronic dictionaries were print dictionaries made available in digital form. The content was identical. But the electronic editions provided users with more powerful search functions. But soon the opportunities offered by digital media began to be exploited.

a grammar reference section. Bilingual electronic dictionaries and monolingual dictionaries of inflected languages often include an interactive verb conjugator, and are capable of word stemming and lemmatization. Electronic dictionaries are also available in logographic and rightto-left scripts, including Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, and Thai. Several developers of the systems that drive electronic dictionary software offer API and SDK – Software Development Kit tools for adding various language-based functions to programs, and web services such as the AJAX API used by Google.

Q: Morphology Processing

Computational morphology deals with the processing of words and word forms, in both their graphemic, i.e., written form, and their phonemic, i.e., spoken form. The task of an automatic morphological analyzer is to take a word in a language and break it down into its stem form along with any affixes that it may have attached to that stem. In processing a sentence such as: Hussain reads well,

The analysis should be:

Hussain as a proper name reads as the third person singular present form of the verb read (read+s) well as either an adverb or a singular noun

Q. Direct Speech Act:

Q. The Method of Understanding Discourse: OR Knowledge in Discourse: Schemata

The role of knowledge in discourse production and comprehension has been a result of findings in the field of artificial intelligence in order to program computers for producing and understanding discourse. These programs need more than the language being used; it involves pre-existent knowledge of the world. Artificial Intelligence tries to understand how this knowledge and language interact and to reproduce the process in computers. For discourse analysis, the most important idea to come out of the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ‘knowledge schemata’.
