Abstract

A control circuit of the present invention comprises a first memory for storing entry words, a second memory for storing a certain number of rule patterns according to which the endings of the entry words may be inflected, and an inflection control device responsive to the first memory and the second memory for inflecting the endings of the words by a particular rule pattern developed from the second memory. In another form of the present invention, an encoder is provided for encoding a word entered into first parts of coded information common to words identified as the same and into second parts of coded information having a difference dependent on the kind of the words. The equivalency between the word entered and one of entry words stored in a memory is determined using only the first parts of coded information.
