Abstract
A technique of using an electronic dictionary in conjunction with electronically-encoded running text that gives the user the most relevant information rather than belaboring the user with all possible information about a selected word. The technique maps the selected word from its inflected form to its citation form, analyzes the selected word in the context of neighboring and surrounding words to resolve ambiguities, and displays the information that is determined to be the most likely to be relevant. The dictionary preferably has information about multi-word combinations that include the selected word, and the context determination typically entails checking whether the selected word is part of a predefined multi-word combination.
