Papp Ferenc: A magyar nyelv szóvégmutató szótára (Budapest, 1969)

F. PAPP REVERSE-ALPHABETIZED DICTIONARY OF THE HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE This work contains an arrangement according to word-endings of the 58,323 main entries in the Explanatory Dictio­nary of the Hungarian Language. The present work has been prepared by means of punch-card machines and elec­tronic computer. It differs from all the similar reverse word lists so far published in several languages (English, Cheremiss, Georgian, Russian, etc.) inasmuch as it is a real dictionary presenting in coded form the most important lexicographic data for the words (number of stems, homo­nyms, part of speech, inflectional type, etc.). Thus the scope of its applicability is much wider than is the case with any previous work of this kind. The statis­tical data and style-lists of the Appendix are powerful contributions to the practi­cal value of the book. The book should be of interest to every institution where research in the Finno- Ugric, Hungarian and Central European branches of linguistics is conducted. The particular method of compilation (by means of modern machinery) guarantees that all institutions where similar tech­niques are applied will be interested in this dictionary.
