KANA (JAPANESE SYLLABARY)-KANJI (CHINESE CHARACTER) DICTIONARY SYSTEM

PURPOSE:To realize a KANA-KANJI conversion system having high conversion rate over a wide range of field fitted with a small-capacity storage device by providing a dictionary group which is available in common to various fields and a dictionary group classified by usage which is exclusive to each field. CONSTITUTION:A common dictionary group stores the common language which is used in common in different fields, and a dictionary group classified by usage stores the words for the KANA-KANJI conversion which is ecxlusive for each field. The dictionary group classified by usage is replaceable in accordance with the field of application. For instance, the sentence information is fed to an input device 1 in the form of the information of a KANA character train, and this character train is stored in a buffer register 2. Then the character train information stored in the register 2 is fed to a control part 6 with a push of a conversion key 7. At the part 6 the KANA characters are converted into the Chinese characters with reference to a storage device 8 functioning as a common dictionary and a storage device 9 functioning as a dictionary for exclusive usage. Then an independent word retrieved at the part 6 is fed to an output device 5 and then displayed or recorded.
