Abstract:
This research presents a new SEMANTIC dictionary system developed by utilizing the Object-Oriented (OO) approach. SEMANTIC dictionary system contains English words, their Arabic meanings, associated actions, semantic relationships, inherited actions and attributes, exceptional relationships and other semantics and characteristics. SEMANTIC dictionary system utilizes Object-Oriented major features, such as objects, classes, aggregation, inheritances, encapsulation and polymorphism. SEMANTIC dictionary is a knowledge base, which can be considered as an intelligent language model and can be used for many language teaching purposes. This research shows how simple phrases can be generated or validated to be semantically correct. In the process of using OO UML to represent semantic knowledge, we have made enhancements and additions to UML itself.
