I have chosen to use the word `` mimesis '' in its Christian rather than its classic implications and to discover in the concrete forms of both art and myth powers of theological expression which, as in the Christian mind, are the direct consequence of involvement in historical experience, which are not reserved, as in the Greek mind, only to moments of theoretical reflection.

Dictionary forms found to match forms in the text list are marked.

The dictionary is a form dictionary, at least in the sense that complete forms are used as the basis for matching text occurrences with dictionary entries.

For this step the computer memory is separated into three regions: cells in the W-region are used for storage of the forms in the text-form list ; ;

cells in the X-region and Y region are reserved as information cells for text forms.

The list of text forms in the W-region of memory and the contents of the information cells in the X and Y-regions are no longer required.

The grammatical descriptions of all forms in the dictionary are recorded in a separate part of the dictionary file.

The only requirements on dictionary information made by the text-lookup operation are that each form represented by the dictionary be available for lookup in the text-form list and that information for each form be available in a sequence identical with the sequence of the forms.

Two very useful ways for modifying a form-dictionary are the addition to the dictionary of complete paradigms rather than single forms and the application of a single change to more than one dictionary form.
