In the second fiscal year (1991), another 8 teams collected another words in the same way.Consequently, more than 17, 000 words (classic 10, 000, modern 7, 000) are collected during 2 years research. Additional attributes i. e. different figures of KANJI, different pronunciation, mostly used period, analogical words, are added to each collected words to utilize as a computer dictionary.In the future, total key words will be expected to about 200, 000 words including proper noun. The most difficult problems may be the storage capacity of computers to record such a large quantity of words and construction of thesaurus.
