6. Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The programs were written almost completely in FORTRAN IV and have been run on the IBM 360 and the PDP i0. A flowchart, which stm~narizes these programs, appears as Appendix i. In addition, a SNOBOL 4 program has been written for the detection of chains and loops.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Several problems in fully achieving the stated research goals have appeared. It was difficult to select small closed sets of words from Webster's New Dictionary of Synonyms and it was not feasible to keypunch the entire dictionary. Since the size of a truly suitable data base was too large to retain in core memory, several sample dictionaries have been selected to study the feasibility of the principles and techniques involved. Most of the current effort has been devoted to providing programming capability for the processing of small test dictionaries. Different words may be input with each run, thereby increasing the size of the sample data base to gain deeper insight into the properties of the entries listed in a manual dictionary. Further computer-aided research on synonyms and antonyms will help to validate or extend the axiomatic model proposed earlier. Also, future research could consider the additional relations &amp;quot;contrasting&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;analogous&amp;quot; cited in some manual dictionaries and the i automatic determination of the senses of words.</Paragraph>
