The dictionary consists of 6.000 entries. It is designed for children from 6 to 15 years of age.
General features
- Each word listed in the bilingual dictionary is followed by grammatical information (part of speech, inflectional forms, hyphenation), examples of different uses, pronunciation, the Turkish equivalent and a photo or a drawing.
- ILSP / R.C. "Athena"’s morphological analyzer has been integrated into the system. The child has the possibility to type a word, which can be automatically corrected, if misspelled. In addition, each word type is grammatically recognized and connected to the initial lemma.
- Every word appearing in the examples of use constitutes a lemma of the dictionary.
- The software allows free navigation.
- There are five ways of retrieving a word:
- By typing the word
- By choosing one of the letters of the alphabet
- By scrolling down the vocabulary list
- By clicking on the words of the examples
