LinguaLab - svenska 1.0 Copyright (C) 1996 - 1997 Wojtek Niwinski LinguaLab - svenska is a language study program for Swedish. The program offers some tools and methods for 1. systematising, analysing, and storing language material 2. testing the user's vocabulary, text comprehension, and grammar skills. The most important feature of the program is the ability to identify, and analyse any possible Swedish word, accidental compounds included. The lexicon base of the powerful Morphological Word Analyser MoWA 2.0 contains about 86 000 noun stems, 17 500 adjective stems, and 9 400 verb stems. The analyser is mainly used for automatic generating of text exercises, based on free-chosen texts (prepositions, inflected words, compounds, past tense expressions, adverb-verb word order). A very important utility is a Swedish-to-English dictionary that keeps record of the user's vocabulary. The dictionary supports 1. automatic grammatical description of the items, 2. quick search of the items in both languages, 3. cross-references, 4. word labels, 5. text searching for authentic language use examples. A Vocabulary Test utility helps to memorise new words, and checks the once learned vocabulary Installing LinguaLab -------------------- Unzip the svecalss.zip file that accompanies this readme.txt file into a temporary folder on your hard disk or to a floppy diskette.
