Retrieval Functions of Electronic Dictionaries and Their Future Development

电子词典作为一个以查询检索为主要任务的工具,检索必然是其中的重中之重,因此其检索性能直接决定了其质量的高低。传统纸质词典的检索路径单一,而数字化环境下的电子词典的检索功能却不断朝智能化、多元化、个性化、层次化方向发展。文章通过对近年来产生的电子词典特有的检索模式的综合分析以及对未来电子词典检索模式的一些构想,以期为电子词典检索系统的优化研究提供一个良好的开端,同时也希望对电子词典用户在查询活动中最大限度地利用现有资源起到一定的促进作用。

As a tool depending heavily on retrieval,electronic dictionaries place the greatest importance on the retrieval functions,which directly determine the dictionaries' quality. While traditional print dictionaries are characterized by simplex retrieving routes,electronic dictionaries born in a digitalized background are moving towards intelligent,diversified,personalized and hierarchical retrieval modes. This article analyzes the unique retrieval modes of electronic dictionaries developed in recent years and visualizes their future development,with a view to launching the optimization research of electronic dictionaries' retrieval system and facilitating the use of existing resources by electronic dictionary users.
