Abstract
The column of adjective synonyms in the learner’s dictionary, not only helps learners to master a variety of synonymous expressions, but also helps to expand the vocabulary of the learners. It is worth noticing that if a synonym is listed in the microscopic structure, the macro-structure is supposed to list the word, which is called the closed-loop principle. That will make learners track the synonyms in process of studying. This survey extracts some adjective words and their synonyms to build corpus, using the method of quantitative and qualitative analysis, making a research on the words of reception, part of speech tagging and the closed-loop principle based on the Dictionary of Chinese Usage 8000 Words, in an attempt to provide reference with the revision and compilation of learner’s dictionary.
