Hierarchy Of The Words Of The Dictionary (Clearly Shown)

[fairyrak]

I remember that in math there are very basic axioms and then they build a lot of theorems based on actions and then more theorems based on the already established theorems and that makes a lot of math knowledge

that pattern made me remember that I have a normal a dictionary of words and I want to learn a lot of more words but it turns out that a lot of words require to have learned others first but I tried and found a lot of circular patterns in that dictionary, Is there a dictionary based on axioms? or like with the structure of theorems in math? enumerations or hierarchical lists so that one can study the words that are needed to study another more complicated word?

or a way to search it on google? because i put axioms based dictionary and i found a lot of bothering definitions of the word axioms instead of what i was looking for, the dictionary

*i meant axioms, not actions

[Prudie]

With maths you use a stock of theorems to pick what you need to solve a problem (I think of it as a tool kit). I don't see how this can relate to words. The closest I can think of to answer your question (which to me is almost unintelligible) is a plain thesaurus.

dictionaries tend to be based on headwords - the simplest and best known form of a word, commonly a noun or a verb. Then they list words derived from the head word, and phrases (usually ones whose meanings are not immediately obvious) that use the word. So "head" might be a headword, "headword" might be a derived word, "get it through your head" might be a related phrase. Just how much they do this will depend on the size of the dictionary.

For the meanings, they will include a number of synonyms. Some of these will haev the same meaning only some of the time. Others you may have to investigate further. That's how you learn a language, even your own.

The evolution of language is largely a continuous [and frequently unrecorded] process (with just a few jumps where new words are deliberately created to, for example, cope with the demands of new technologies), whereas the evolution of mathematics has always been in distinct (and well-recorded) stages.

It's therefore possible to provide a structured account of the way that mathematics has evolved, which simply isn't possible for the English language.

However TheSage is a superb (free!) dictionary that not only offers synonyms for words but also antonyms, hypernyms and hyponyms (and lots more as well), thus helping to place individual words within larger linguistic structures:

Why not give it a try?

I meant for example:
axiom 1 these are the 2000 basic words in English or Spanish or whatever

axiom 1.1 words

sky: something high that has air and a lot of meters if you see up (something better than this of course

plant y: x plant of the family of angiosperms that has y

1.1.1ANGIOSPERMS plants with these general characteristics: a b or c

1.1.1.1 plants

1.1.1.1.1 life

(of course, something much better than this)

or for example in wikipedia, many words link to other words but there are sometimes circular references too

in quora there is an ontology of words like what I mean, and it's good, it's ordered, but i can't download it, I want an ontology or whatever that I can save or get

no, I think language is too random and disordered to fit that sort of pattern, as Buenchico says. That doesn't stop philologists and grammarians from trying, though.

I just found and downloaded wordnet and it was what I was expecting,

if anyone finds a better option that is downloadable it would be great too
