ABSTRACT:
An electronic dictionary comprising a dictionary memory which has multiple data memory locations identified by respective addresses. Each data memory location comprises a word-data memory location for storing a word, and an address-number memory location for storing one of the addresses at which is stored a word synonymous with or antonymous to the word stored in the corresponding word-data memory location. Upon entry of a word through an input device, the word stored in the dictionary memory is retrieved from the respective word-data memory location, and the address-number data in the corresponding address-number memory location is read out to search the data memory location which is designated by the read-out address-number data. The word stored in the word-data memory location of the searched data memory location is displayed as a synonym or antonym of the word which has been entered through the input device. The word-data memory locations may be grouped into two vocabulary storage parts corresponding to two languages. In this arrangement, the dictionary may be used to know the meaning of a word of one language, via words of the other language whose data memory locations are designated by the address-number data stored in the data memory locations for the above one language.
