M. Fukuda et K. Kageura, A RESEARCH OF SEE ALSO REFERENCE IN THE TERMINOLOGICAL DICTIONARY - USING SEMANTIC RELATIONS BETWEEN ENTRIES, Library and Information Science, (31), 1993, pp. 1-23
The purpose of this study is to clarify the nature and functions of 's
ee also' references in the terminological dictionary. In order to acco
mplish the purpose, we surveyed 'see also' references in three termino
logical dictionaries, using semantic relations between referring entri
es and referred entries as a key. As a result, we could clarify the fo
llowing points: (1) major types of semantic relations between referrin
g and referred entries and their quantitative tendencies, (2) correlat
ions between general nature of dictionaries and overall tendencies of
'see also' references, (3) some tendencies concerning the directions o
f references under some semantic relations, and (4) correlations betwe
en the nature of dictionaries and the directions of 'see also' referen
ces.
