This paper proposes a dictionary consultation method for Web reading. Natural language expressions appear in texts overlapping linguistic units, such as characters, words, and phrases, which can be represented hierarchically. The proposed method takes hierarchical structures of languages into consideration and provides a way for the reader to select a specific natural language expression from a string and display associated linguistic information. The proposed method simplifies the use of language resources when unknown natural language expressions are encountered. The proposed method has been compared with several conventional methods for input usability. The result of the comparison has confirmed that the proposed method has characteristics that are superior to conventional methods.
