A '''reverse dictionary''' is a [[dictionary]] organized in a non-standard order (usually referring to being in a so-called "reverse" order) that provides the user with information that would be difficult to obtain from a traditionally alphabetized dictionary. There are two principal types of reverse dictionaries: reverse ''word'' dictionaries, and reverse ''concept'' dictionaries ([[conceptual dictionary]]). This article discusses reverse word dictionaries; see [[conceptual dictionary]] for reverse concept dictionaries. |
|||
A '''reverse dictionary''' is a [[dictionary]] alphabetized by the reversal of each entry: |
|||
:kcots (stock) |
|||
:kcotseid (diestock) |
|||
:kcotser (restock) |
|||
:kcotsevil (livestock) |
|||
Before computers, reverse dictionaries were tedious to produce. The first computer-produced was Stahl and Scavnicky's ''A Reverse Dictionary of the Spanish Language'', in 1974.<ref name=stahl1974/> The first computer-produced reverse dictionary for a single text was [[Roy Wisbey|Wisbey, R.]], ''Vollständige Verskonkordanz zur Wiener Genesis. Mit einem rückläufigen Wörterbuch zum Formenbestand'', Berlin, E. Schmidt, 1967. |

Some sort utilities can sort on a reversed version of the sort key,<ref>http://billposer.org/Software/msort.html</ref> making it easy to generate reverse dictionaries on the fly if the dictionary data is available in electronic form. |

A reverse dictionary is a dictionary alphabetized by the reversal of each entry:
- kcots (stock)
- kcotseid (diestock)
- kcotser (restock)
- kcotsevil (livestock)
Before computers, reverse dictionaries were tedious to produce. The first computer-produced was Stahl and Scavnicky's A Reverse Dictionary of the Spanish Language, in 1974.[1] The first computer-produced reverse dictionary for a single text was Wisbey, R., Vollständige Verskonkordanz zur Wiener Genesis. Mit einem rückläufigen Wörterbuch zum Formenbestand, Berlin, E. Schmidt, 1967.
Definition
[edit]In a reverse word dictionary, the entries are alphabetized by the last letter first, then next to last, and so on.[1][2] In them, words with the same suffix appear together. This can be useful for linguists and poets looking for words ending with a particular suffix, or by an epigrapher or forensics specialist examining a damaged text (e.g. a stone inscription, or a burned document) that had only the final portion of a word. Reverse dictionaries of this type have been published for most major alphabetical languages.
Applications
[edit]Applications of reverse word dictionaries include:
- Simple rhyming dictionaries, to the extent that spelling predicts pronunciation.
- Finding words with a given suffix (i.e., meaningful ending), like -ment.
- Finding words with the same ending as a given word, even if the sequence is not meaningful.
- Setting or solving word puzzles, such as -gry or the earlier -dous puzzle (find words ending in some way), or crossword puzzles.
Construction
[edit]Reverse word dictionaries are straightforward to construct, by simply sorting based on reversed words. This was labor-intensive and tedious before computers, but is now straightforward. By the same token, reverse dictionaries have become less important since online word lists can be searched dynamically.
