(Hugh Kelly and Ted Ziehe, "Glossary Lookup Made Easy"...)

This approach requires that : ( 1 ) each text word be separated into smaller elements to establish a correspondence between the occurrence and dictionary_entries , and ( 2 ) the information retrieved from several entries in the dictionary be synthesized into a description of the particular word .

The dictionary is a form dictionary , at_least in the sense that complete forms are used as the basis for matching text occurrences with dictionary_entries .

Thus , one can think_of a dictionary_entry as a word rather than a form .
