CONSTITUTION: In ROMs 9W11 each corresponding to one word, words and example sentences divided by categores are stored, and some ROM is selected by chip selection signals CE 1 WCE 3 of a microcomputer 8 to read out its contents, which are displayed 2 by controlling an IC6 for display driving control with a CE 4 . In this case, structural elements (words, etc.) of a document are specified and inputted by a key part 7 into example sentences divided by categories, and on the basis of the input word, the example sentence is retrieved and displayed 2.
