Annotation:

The purpose of the grammatical dictionaries is to indicate morphological and syntactical characteristics for every words. These characteristics are essential to form grammatically correct phrases. For each word there is a tag sets that can determine: which part of speech this word belongs to; its grammatical meaning; its grammatical forms; variants of using these forms or nonstandard structure of forms; will be form determination by their meanings or lexical compatibility, semantic discordances of correspondent forms; not existence or not usage of certain words etc. The difference between the Grammatical Dictionary and ordinary dictionaries is that this dictionary will offer the user not only initial word forms but also the whole paradigm derived from this word i.e. it shows the whole set of language vocabulary. In addition, we should note, that in certain cases the user may need only a specific member of the set and not the “standard” form of a dictionary. The Georgian language has an agglutinative-inflexed structure; hence, sometimes it is difficult to find the lexical meaning of the concrete form. Similar problem has already been solved for many languages by using automatic grammar dictionaries. Such dictionary has not been created for the Georgian language yet. A Georgian language learner may know the meaning of the primary form of the word, but in the context, it can change its form so that it may not be identified. Moreover, the likely service can be needed by some native Georgian users also, due to the inflexional-agglutinative structure of Georgian word forms and (not less) to the low degree of language knowledge of today.
