Study of Terms in Treatises on Japanese Literature

为了在日文数据库中扩展用户词典，本研究旨在研究和收集除标题、作者和地名等专有名词之外的受限制的普通关键词的词语。120多名研究人员参与了这项为期两年的研究，其中包括1名首席调查员、28名联合调查员和72名合作人员。在第一个财政年度(1990)，研究人员根据自己的专长分成16个小组，每个小组从各自的专业角度收集词汇，基础材料由国立日本文学研究所编制。在第二个财政年度(1991年)，另有8个小组以同样的方式收集了另一组单词，结果在两年的研究中收集了17000多个单词(经典的10000个，现代的7000个)。将不同的汉字字形、不同的读音、常用句号、类比词等附加属性添加到每个收集的词中作为计算机词典使用，未来包括专有名词在内的关键词总数预计将达到20万字左右。最困难的问题可能是计算机记录如此大量的单词的存储容量和词库的构建。

For the purpose of extension of the user's dictionary in the databases for Japanese litetature, this research has been intended to study and collect words which were restricted ordinary key words except for proper noun such as titles, authors and place names.More than 120 researchers, including 1 chief investigator, 28 co-investigators and 72 co-operators, participated in this 2 years research.In the first fiscal year (1990), researchers are grouped up in 16 teams (in accordance with their expertise) and each teams collected words from the view of their specialties, in which basic materials were prepared by the National Institute of Japanese Literature. 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.
