UPDATING OF THESAUR PROGRAM.
Abstract
This document updates the description of THESAUR, the third section of the stylistic analysis program contained in TM-1908/100/00, 'Stylistic Analysis: Report on the First Year of Research,' 1 March 1965. The revised THESAUR incorporates changes designed for better retrieval of concept continuities as well as for more adequate display of both continuities and discontinuities. One of the major changes has been the introduction of SUFFIX, the root-finding section of the program, into THESAUR. This new use of SUFFIX enlarges considerably the number of words retrieved; searches in THESAUR had previously been word specific. One change in the output is retention of linking words (primary words which also occur as associated words), even though they do not occur in the section of text under examination (this fact is indicated through a comment). Changes also include a clear indication of the initial appearance of a given word with a particular word grouping, and a number of other features which make the output more readable and informative.
