Who needs the "Lexicograph" and what for?

The system "Lexicograph" is a semantic dictionary in the form of a data base.

Modern linguistic semantics proceeds from the assumption that the lexicon, as well as other levels of language, i.e. its grammar and phonetics, is a system. The basis of the lexical system is constituted by recurrent meaning components, such as 'know', 'see', 'move', 'cause', 'thing', and parameters of word meaning, such as ontological category, thematic class, roles of participants of the denoted situation, and thematic classes of participants.

Not a single word in a language is identical to any other word, either with respect to meaning, or combinability, or any other aspect. However, most individual differences are determined by the components of meaning and parameters recurring in dozens or, sometimes, in hundreds or thousands words.
