A Fundamental Study of an Electronic Dictionary and Transforming System of Japanese Wordprocessing for Primary/Secondary School Use

本研究以1989年至1990年进行了两年的项目为基础。项目结果如下：日语文字处理机基本教学电子词典的研制：通过对学校教科书中词汇的分析，确定了中小学用词典的编制框架和设计方案。完成后的词典为软盘式，由单词词典（291KB）和汉字词典（74kb）组成。大约有20000个单词准备被检索。这本词典一直受到中小学教师的好评。现在我们正计划让中小学生使用词典，以提高词典的可靠性。关于转换制度的探讨：从合作学校的研究结果来看，对于日语学习还处于初级发展阶段的学生，最好引进日本文集转换制度。本集转换系统可以自动将以日文平假名书写的单词转换为日文汉字与平假名混合的单词。为了阐明这一观点，他们必须进行详细的研究。手写与文字处理机写作的差异：两类作文的比较研究一个班用手写作文，另一个班用文字处理机写作文，有一些明显的区别。用文字处理技术写作文比手写更能激发学生的积极性，而且在学生需要重写的时候也更方便。此外，在用文字处理机撰写的作文中，汉字和成语的使用数量要比手写的多得多，而且每篇作文的篇幅也比手写的长。然而，值得注意的是，一些老师指出了汉字学习和手写作文的重要性。日语输入句分析系统的开发：我们开发了一个用个人电脑系统分析日语输入句的软件。它可以搜索汉字和习语，将它们分类，并自动计数。该系统的开发可以促进该领域的研究。结果表明，该系统可以应用于实际的日语教学中。少

This study is based on the project which has been carried out for two years from 1989 to 1990. The result of the project is as follows :1. Development of a Basic Electronic Dictionary of a Japanese Wordprocessor for Teaching and Learning :The authors have anallzed the vocabularies in school textbooks to set framework and a design for making the dictionary for elementary and secondary school use. The completed dictionary is a floppy disk type, which is consisted of word dictionary (291KB) and kanji dictionary (74 KB). Approximately 20,000 words are ready to be retrieved. This dictionary has been getting a good reputation from the primary and secondary school teachers. Now we are planning to let primary and secondary school students use the dictionary to improve its reliability.2. Discussion on Transforming System :From the result of researches conducted at cooperative schools, it is preferable to introduce the Japanese Bunsetsu transforming system for the students who are still in the m … More iddle of developing stage in their learning Japanese. The Bunsetsu transforming system can convert a word written in Japanese Hiragana into a word mixed with Japanese Kanji and Hiragana automatically. For their elaborated research must be done for clarifying this point of view.3. Differences between Writing by Hand and Writing with a Wordprocessor :From the comparative study between two composition classes ; one class wrote composition by hand and another wrote using a wordprocessor, some prominent differences has been shown. Writing composition with a wordprocessing could motivate students more than hand writing, and was more convenient for students when they have to rewrite. Furthermore, in the compositions written with a word processor, number of using Kanji and idiom are much larger and the each amount of composition was longer than those of hand writing. However, it is notable that some teachers pointed out the importance of kanji larning and composition writing by hand writing.4. Development of Analyzing System of Japanese Input Sentences :We have developed a software for analyzing Japanese input sentences using a personal computer system. It can search Kanjis and idioms, categorize them into certain groups, and count the number automatically. The development of this system could encourage the researches in this field. It proved that this system could be applied into practical Japanese language education. Less
