Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a document editing apparatus that edits (corrects) an expression form used in a Japanese sentence, and a recording medium on which a program for causing a computer to function as a document editing apparatus is recorded.
[0002]
[Prior art]
With the recent advancement of semiconductor technology, various functions have been added to word processors, which have conventionally been devices that only perform kana-kanji conversion. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-27459 added a function for determining whether or not an honorific used in a prepared sentence is appropriate for the subject of the sentence. A word processor is disclosed. As a similar technique, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-73610 discloses that an input sentence is divided into nouns and verbs (words), and each noun takes a prefix “o” or “go”, In addition, an apparatus is disclosed that determines whether each verb can take a polite word and what respect word it takes and lists all the expression forms that each word can take.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the word processor to which the function as described above is added, it is less likely that a document using an incorrect expression is created as compared with a word processor that does not have the function. However, there are various levels of honorific expression in Japanese, so if a word processor with the functions described above is used by someone who does not have knowledge of how to use honorifics, a document is created. Was an unbalanced sentence as a result of excessive use of honorifics. Also, depending on the purpose of the document, it may be better to create it in spoken language than in written language, but conventional word processors cannot convert a document created in written language into a spoken language document.
[0004]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a document editing apparatus that can easily create a document in which honorifics are used in an accurate form according to the purpose of use, even for those who do not have knowledge about how to use honorifics. There is to do.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The document editing apparatus according to the present invention stores (a) a plurality of words and use environment data assigned to each word for classifying the words in the use environment in a form in which words having the same meaning can be identified. Correspondence relation storage means for storing correspondence relation between word storage means, (b) use purpose information that is information directly representing the purpose of use of the document, and use environment data assigned to the words in the word storage means (C) input means for inputting purpose of use information relating to an edit target document that is a document whose expression form should be checked, and (d) input by the input means based on the correspondence relationship stored in the correspondence relationship storage means. Use environment data specifying means for specifying use environment data corresponding to the used purpose information, (e) word specifying means for sequentially specifying words included in the document to be edited as processing targets, When the use environment data stored in the word storage means for the word specified by the word specifying means does not match the use environment data specified by the use environment data specifying means, the same meaning as that word is obtained. The word specifying means in the document to be edited is specified by using words stored in the word storage means and assigned with the usage environment data that matches the usage environment data specified by the use environment data specifying means. Word replacement means for replacing the generated word.
[0006]
That is, the document editing apparatus of the present invention can identify various words that may be used in a document so that words having the same meaning can be identified. It is stored in a form that can be recognized as a word that should be used in some cases (for example, in correspondence with usage environment data such as a degree of respect). It also maintains the correspondence between the usage purpose information, which is information that directly represents the purpose of use of the document, and the usage environment data. If the purpose of use of the document is input by the user, the usage purpose information The usage environment data corresponding to is specified, and among the words that make up the document to be edited, the usage environment data that is different from the specified usage environment data, that is, the words whose usage is inappropriate Replaces the word with the identified usage environment data.
[0007]
As described above, according to the document editing apparatus of the present invention, among the words constituting the editing target document, a word that does not take an expression form corresponding to the purpose of use becomes a word of an expression form corresponding to the purpose of use. Therefore, even a person who does not have knowledge about how to use honorific can easily create a document in which honorific is used in an accurate form according to the purpose of use.
[0008]
In the document editing apparatus of the present invention, the usage information and usage environment data including first information relating to the location of the sender of the document to be edited and second information relating to the recipient or use of the document to be edited as correspondence storage means. It is also possible to adopt a means for storing the correspondence relationship between the first information and the second information as the input means.
[0009]
According to the document editing apparatus configured as described above, an operation of selecting one usage purpose from various usage purposes (information) can be easily performed in a form that is easy for the user to understand.
[0010]
Moreover, the word storage means which memorize | stored the word of the spoken word form and the word of the written word form which have the same meaning can also be used for the document editing apparatus of this invention. When the document editing apparatus is configured in this way, it is possible to easily convert a document created in written language into a document composed of spoken language, or a document created in spoken language into a document composed of written language.
[0011]
Further, when the use environment data stored in the word storage means for the word specified by the word specifying means as the word replacement means does not match the use environment data specified by the use environment data specifying means, When a menu for asking whether or not to replace a word is displayed, and when an instruction is given to replace the word, the use environment having the same meaning as the word and specified by the use environment data specifying means It is also possible to use a means for replacing the word specified by the word specifying means in the document to be edited using the words stored in the word storage means with the use environment data that matches the data.
[0012]
In addition, as a word storage means, a means for storing a forbidden phrase which is a word that is not preferable in a document in a form associated with the use environment data is used, and a word specified by the word specifying means as a word replacement means However, if it is stored in the word storage means as a forbidden phrase corresponding to the use environment data specified by the use environment data specifying means, means for displaying that fact can also be used.
[0013]
When a document editing device is configured in this way, it is possible to check whether or not a forbidden phrase is used in the document, so it is possible to prevent accidental submission of a rude document (a document using a forbidden phrase) to the other party. It will be possible.
[0014]
In order to realize the document editing apparatus of the present invention, it is not necessary to prepare hardware dedicated to the document editing apparatus, and the computer uses (a) a plurality of words and an environment in which words assigned to each word are used. (B) usage purpose information that is information directly representing the purpose of use of the document, and word storage. Correspondence storage means for storing correspondence relations with use environment data assigned to words in the means, and (c) input means for inputting purpose of use information relating to a document to be edited which is a document whose expression form should be checked. And (d) a use environment data specifying method for specifying use environment data corresponding to the use purpose information input by the input means based on the correspondence relation stored in the correspondence relation storage means. (E) word specifying means for sequentially specifying the words included in the document to be edited as processing targets, and (f) use environment data stored in the word storage means for the words specified by the word specifying means. When the usage environment data does not match the usage environment data specified by the usage environment data specification means, the usage environment has the same meaning as the word and matches the usage environment data specified by the usage environment data specification means. A recording medium on which a program for functioning as a word replacement unit that replaces a word specified by a word specifying unit in an edit target document using a word to which data is assigned and stored in a word storage unit is recorded By using this, a general computer may function as a document editing apparatus.
[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the document editing apparatus according to the first embodiment. The document editing apparatus according to the first embodiment is an apparatus in which a so-called word processor is added with a function for checking the validity of a usage method of honorifics in a document. As illustrated, the document editing apparatus 10 includes an input unit 11, a display unit 12, a storage unit 13, and an interface unit 14. ₁ ~ 14 _Three ROM 15, RAM 16 and CPU 17 are provided as main components. Interface unit 14 ₁ ~ 14 _Three ROM 15, RAM 16, and CPU 17 are connected to each other by a bus 18. The input unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the display unit 13 are respectively connected to an interface unit 14. ₁ ~ 14 _Three It is connected to the bus 28 via
[0016]
The input unit 11 is a device for a user to input an instruction to the document editing apparatus 10 (CPU 17), and includes a keyboard and a mouse (not shown). The display unit 12 is a device for displaying a document being edited (contents of document data), and includes a liquid crystal display. The storage unit 13 is a device for storing document data, and includes a so-called floppy disk drive.
[0017]
Interface unit 14 ₁ ~ 14 _Three Are circuits in charge of data transfer among the input unit 11, the storage unit 12, the display unit 13, and the CPU 17, respectively. _Three Inside, a memory for storing data displayed on the display unit 12 is provided. The ROM 15 stores a program, a Japanese analysis dictionary, an honorific dictionary, and a phrase dictionary (details of each dictionary will be described later). The CPU 17 is a control circuit that controls each unit in an integrated manner, and executes control according to a program stored in the ROM 15 using the RAM 16 as a work area.
[0018]
Hereinafter, the operation of the document editing apparatus 10 (CPU 17) will be described in detail. Since the document editing apparatus 10 is also an apparatus having a function of creating a document, the CPU 17 also performs control for that purpose. The control is controlled by a CPU provided in a normal word processor. Is almost the same. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted, and here, the control procedure by the CPU 17 will be described on the assumption that a document has already been created.
[0019]
First, an outline of the honorific dictionary and the phrase dictionary stored in the ROM 15 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the Japanese analysis dictionary is the same as a dictionary provided in a general word processor, and thus description thereof is omitted.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 2, the honorific dictionary stores a combination of a replacement source word, a replacement destination word, respect, and style information. The degree of respect is data corresponding to the replacement word, and in this apparatus, the degree of respect “0” is normally assigned to the word used, and a larger numerical value is assigned to the word to be used for the superior. It is. In addition, as a replacement source word, a word with a degree of respect “0” is stored. The stylistic information is information indicating whether the corresponding replacement word is a word used as a “written word” but a word used as a “spoken word” or a word used as either. ing.
[0021]
As shown in the figure, in the honorific dictionary, different replacement destination words (and respect and style information) are stored in association with the same replacement source word, and the CPU 17 uses this dictionary to store documents. Check the validity of the usage of honorifics and replace it. Note that names such as replacement source words and replacement destination words are for convenience, and the CPU 17 replaces words stored as replacement destination words in honorific dictionary with words stored as replacement source words. There is also.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 3, the forbidden phrase dictionary is a dictionary that stores correspondences between headwords, forbidden phrase status information, and alternative words. Prohibition status information is information that indicates the situation in which a headword is prohibited. For example, “general” is set as the prohibition status information corresponding to a word (headword) that should not be used in general. Information indicating the specific situation (for example, wedding) is set as the phrase prohibition situation information corresponding to the word that is prohibited only in the situation. As alternative words, words that should be used (can be used) instead of head words are set.
[0023]
Next, details of honorific usage check processing, which is processing performed using each dictionary described above, will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts for explaining the operation procedure of the CPU 17 during the honorific usage check process. FIGS. 6 to 10 show the display unit 12 during the honorific usage check process. It is the figure which showed the outline | summary of the menu for sender setting or the menu for recipient setting displayed. The honorific usage check process is a process performed on a document (data) existing in the RAM 16, and when starting the honorific usage check process, the user can create a new document or use a floppy disk. By reading out the stored document, document data to be edited is prepared in the RAM 16, and thereafter, an operation for starting the honorific usage check process is performed on the input unit 11.
[0024]
The CPU 17 that has detected that the operation has been performed starts honorific usage checking processing, and first executes TPO acquisition processing as shown in FIG. 4 (step S101).
[0025]
As described above, the CPU 17 checks the content of the document to be edited by using the honorific dictionary and the phrase dictionary, and the TPO acquisition process is the degree of respect that is data used at that time. , Stylistic information and phrase prohibition status information (hereinafter, the combined data is expressed as TPO data) from the relationship between the sender and recipient of the document (purpose of use of the document).
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 5, when starting the TPO acquisition process, the CPU 17 first displays the sender setting menu by controlling the display unit 12 (step S201).
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 6, the sender setting menu has four items such as “house”, “school”, “company”, and “store”, and the user can edit the sentence being edited. The item corresponding to the place where the sender is located is selected using the input unit 11.
[0028]
On the other hand, after displaying the sender setting menu (step S201), the CPU 17 shifts to a state where the signal from the input unit 11 is monitored (step S202). The display position of “◎” in the menu (FIG. 6) is changed. Further, when it is detected that the enter key has been pressed, it is recognized that the item displaying “◎” is selected. The CPU 17 responds to the operation on the mouse in the same procedure. That is, when the CPU 17 detects that the mouse is clicked, it performs the same process as when the cursor key is pressed, and when it detects that the mouse key is pressed, it performs the same process as when the enter key is pressed. .
[0029]
When it is detected that an operation for selecting any item is performed with the keyboard or the mouse (step S202; Y), the CPU 17 displays a recipient setting menu corresponding to the selected item (step S202; Y). Step S203).
[0030]
FIGS. 7 to 10 show recipient setting menus displayed when “house”, “school”, “company”, and “shop” are selected in step S202, respectively. As is clear from these figures, each recipient setting menu has items relating to the attributes of the person who is often the recipient of the document from the corresponding sender location (position) or the purpose of the document. It has been. For example, the recipient setting menu corresponding to “house” shown in FIG. 7 includes items such as “family”, “relative”, and “neighborhood” that are often recipients of documents from “house”. In addition, items such as “wedding” and “condolence”, which are often the purpose of documents from “house”, are provided.
[0031]
After displaying any recipient setting menu, the CPU 17 waits for the user to select an item on the recipient setting menu (step S204; N), and detects that the item has been selected. At this time (step S204; Y), TPO data (respect level, style information, phrase prohibition information) to be used when checking honorific usage is specified based on the selected item (step S205). In order to specify the TPO data in step S205, the program stored in the ROM 15 includes a combination of “sender location” and “recipient location” as schematically shown in FIG. A table is provided on which the degree of respect, style information, and phrase information can be searched, and the CPU 17 refers to the table to identify the TPO data.
[0032]
Returning to FIG. 4, the operation procedure of the CPU 17 after the completion of the TPO acquisition process will be described. After completion of the TPO acquisition process (step S101), the CPU 17 cuts out one sentence to be checked from the document that is the editing target at that time (the document whose contents are stored in the RAM 16) ( Step S102). Here, “cut out” means that a sentence (character string data) is copied to the work area of the RAM 16, and in step S 102, the CPU 17 first or next to the previously cut out document of the document to be edited. The character string from the character to the punctuation mark or line feed symbol is cut out as one sentence to be checked. Although details will be described later, in step S102, the CPU 17 also performs processing to indicate which sentence in the document is the sentence to be checked.
[0033]
Thereafter, the CPU 17 analyzes the contents of the extracted sentence using the Japanese analysis dictionary, and decomposes the sentence into a plurality of character strings (words) to be checked (step S103). Then, the CPU 17 searches the honorific dictionary and the forbidden dictionary using one (first) character string (hereinafter referred to as a check target character string) as a keyword as a keyword (step S104). In this step, the CPU 17 searches (determines) whether or not a word matching the character string to be checked is stored as a replacement source word for the honorific dictionary (see FIG. 2) and replaces the replacement destination word. It is also searched whether or not it is stored as a word. As a result of such a search, when the CPU 17 finds that a word matching the check target character string is stored as the replacement source word or the replacement destination word, the CPU 17 searches the TPO corresponding to the word from the honorific dictionary. Read data (respect level, style information). When the read TPO data does not match the TPO data acquired in the TPO acquisition process, the character string to be checked has a degree of respect and style information that matches the TPO data acquired in the TPO acquisition process. A replacement destination word that is associated with the same replacement source word as the replacement source word is read (hereinafter, the word read in this way is referred to as a recommended replacement character string). Thereafter, it is determined that the check target character string is a character string inappropriate for use in the editing target document, that is, the check is necessary (step S105; Y), and the process proceeds to step S106.
[0034]
If the TPO data read from the honorific dictionary matches the TPO data acquired in the TPO acquisition process, the check is not required (step S105; N), and the process proceeds to step S109. However, in step S104, as a result of the search of the prohibited phrase dictionary performed together with the search of the honorific dictionary, the same character string as the check target character string is stored as the entry word in the prohibited phrase dictionary, and the entry When the phrase prohibition status information stored in association with the word matches the phrase prohibition status information that is a constituent element of the TPO data acquired by the TPO acquisition process, the degree of respect and style read from the honorific dictionary are acquired by the TPO acquisition. Even if the data matches the TPO data acquired in the process, the CPU 17 executes the process from step S106. Further, in this case, the CPU 17 acquires an alternative word stored in the prohibited phrase dictionary (see FIG. 3) in association with the check target character string as a recommended replacement character string.
[0035]
That is, the CPU 17 matches the respect level and style information of the check target character string with the respect level and style information in the TPO data acquired by the TPO acquisition process, and the check target character string is included in the TPO data. The branch to the “N” side is executed in step S105 only when the phrase is not prohibited under the situation defined by the phrase prohibition situation information, and in other cases, the other words stored in the honorific dictionary are stored. A word or an alternative word stored in the non-prohibition dictionary is stored as a recommended replacement character string, and branching to the “Y” side is executed.
[0036]
When branching to the “Y” side, the CPU 17 controls the display unit 12 to display the replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu (step S106). In the replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu, the above-mentioned replacement recommended character string or character that is the character string to be used instead of the character string to be checked is determined to be an inappropriate character string. This is a menu on which two buttons for selecting whether or not to perform column replacement are displayed, and the CPU 17 determines the content of the replacement selection menu to be displayed based on the search result in step S104. A specific example of this replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu will be described later.
[0037]
The user looks at the contents of the replacement adoption selection menu displayed on the display unit 12 and decides whether or not to replace the character string pointed out as inappropriate with the recommended replacement character string. An operation for notifying the CPU 17 of the contents is performed on the input unit 11.
[0038]
On the other hand, the CPU 17 starts monitoring the signal from the input unit 11 after displaying the replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu, and when detecting that an operation for instructing replacement is performed (step S107; Y). The contents of the document data on the RAM 16 are changed so that the check target character string is replaced with the recommended replacement character string (step S108), and the process proceeds to step S109. Further, when it is detected that an operation for instructing not to perform the replacement is performed (step S107; N), the process proceeds to step S109 without replacing the character string.
[0039]
In step S109, the CPU 17 determines whether or not the processing related to one sentence extracted in step S102 is completed (that is, determines whether or not all the processing related to each character string decomposed in step S103 is completed), and completes. If not (step S109; N), the process returns to step S104 to start processing for the next character string that has been decomposed. On the other hand, if it has been completed (step S109; Y), it is determined whether or not the processing relating to all the sentences constituting the document to be edited has been completed. If it has not been completed (step S110; In N), the process returns to step S102, and the next sentence is cut out. Then, such processing is repeated, and when the processing regarding all sentences is completed (step S110; Y), the CPU 17 ends the honorific usage check processing.
[0040]
Hereinafter, the operation of the document editing apparatus 10 (CPU 17) will be described more specifically by taking as an example the case where the document shown in FIG.
In this case, since the target sentence is a document in the company, the user selects “Company” in the sender setting menu (see FIG. 6) displayed after starting the honorific usage check process. To do. As a result, in the displayed recipient setting menu (see FIG. 9), “sender's colleague” is selected.
[0041]
When such selection is made, the CPU 17 refers to the table shown in FIG. 11 and uses the TPO data including the degree of respect “1”, the style information “written word”, and the phrase information “general”. Recognize that a document check should be performed.
[0042]
Thereafter, the processing from step S202 of FIG. 4 is started, and the sentence “Please watch the game on February 19th” is specified as a check target. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the document is underlined and a message indicating that the check of the sentence is started is displayed.
[0043]
Next, the CPU 17 starts checking each character string obtained by disassembling the document, and when a character string whose respect or the like does not match the TPO data set in the TPO setting process becomes a check target character string. The replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu is displayed. In the text underlined in FIG. 13, the degree of respect for “Must” is different from the degree of respect in the TPO data. Therefore, as shown in FIG. A replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu 20 indicating that correction is to be performed is displayed in the “Upper meeting”.
[0044]
The user inputs an instruction as to whether or not to replace “Need” with “Upon all troubles” by selecting one of the buttons displayed as “Replace” or “As is”.
[0045]
For example, when the user selects “as it is”, the CPU 17 starts checking the next character string “please watch the game” without performing “replacement”. This character string is an inappropriate character string for the usage of "Please". As shown in Fig. 2, the word with respect "1" corresponding to "Please watch the game" is "Please watch the game" Is. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 17 displays a replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu 20 that recommends that “please watch the game” is corrected to “please watch the game”.
[0046]
Also, after “company” is selected in the sender setting menu and “business partner” is selected in the recipient setting menu, the degree of respect stored as TPO data is “3”. As shown in FIG. 2, the word with respect “3” corresponding to “please watch” is “please watch the game”. For this reason, when “business partner” is selected in the recipient setting menu, the CPU 17 selects “please watch the game” as shown in FIG. 16 with respect to the text shown in FIG. The replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu 20 that is recommended to be corrected to “Watch the game please” is displayed.
[0047]
Further, as is clear from the above description, even when excessive honorific expression is used in the document, the CPU 17 adopts replacement to make the expression form of the portion according to the TPO data. Displays a selection menu. For example, when the degree of respect stored as TPO data is “3”, a document containing a character string such as “Thank you for watching” (respect degree 4) is given as an edit target. As shown in FIG. 17, the CPU 17 displays a replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu 20 in which “please watch the game” should be corrected to “watch the game”.
[0048]
As described above, when the document editing apparatus according to the first embodiment is used, the user simply selects an item related to the document to be created from the two menus, and the expression form used in the document is Depending on the purpose of the document.
[0049]
Second Embodiment
The document editing apparatus of the second embodiment is an apparatus in which the processing procedure in steps S102 and S103 in the honorific usage method check process shown in FIG. 4 is changed, and the overall operation procedure is the document editing apparatus of the first embodiment. The operation procedure is the same. For this reason, only the parts different from the document editing apparatus of the first embodiment will be described here.
[0050]
In the document editing apparatus according to the second embodiment, the honorific dictionary shown in FIG. 18 and the utilization form correspondence table shown in FIG. 19 are held instead of the honorific dictionary shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 18, the honorific dictionary provided in the document editing apparatus according to the second embodiment includes the replacement source word, the replacement destination word, the degree of respect, the style information, the part of speech of the replacement source word, and the utilization form of the previous word. And the part-of-speech of the replacement word and the utilization form of the previous word are stored in the dictionary. In addition, the information regarding the utilization form of the previous word (consecutive 1, continuous 3, etc.) is stored only for the auxiliary verb used by being connected to the verb.
[0051]
As shown in FIG. 19, the utilization form correspondence table is information indicating how to change the verbs when various verbs are used in various utilization forms (previously 1, continuous 1, etc.). Is remembered.
[0052]
The CPU in the document editing apparatus according to the second embodiment does not support TPO data from the document in the steps corresponding to steps S102 and S103 in FIG. A character string is extracted, and a recommended replacement character string determination process that is a process of determining a character string to be used instead of the character string is executed.
[0053]
Hereinafter, the operation procedure of the CPU during the recommended replacement character string determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
After cutting out one sentence to be checked, the CPU uses the analysis dictionary to divide the sentence into words, and determines the part of speech and the utilization form of each word (step S301; FIG. 4). Corresponding to step S102). Then, based on the determination result in step S301, the word or phrase to be checked is specified (step S302), and when the check target is a word (step S303; N), that is, the degree of respect is determined independently. If the word should be included in the sentence, use the honorific dictionary and prohibition dictionary to determine whether the word's esteem corresponds to TPO data, and correspond to TPO data If not, the replacement recommended character string is specified (step S304). Then, the CPU 17 ends the recommended replacement character string determination process and proceeds to a step corresponding to step S105 in FIG. Thereafter, the processing corresponding to steps S106 to S108 is executed (or not executed), and it is determined whether or not the processing relating to the cut out sentence is completed. If not, the process returns to step S302, and the rest Continue processing for the word.
[0054]
On the other hand, when the check target is a phrase composed of a plurality of words (step S303; Y), that is, a word string whose respect should be determined for each phrase, such as a combination of a verb and an auxiliary verb, is included in the sentence. If so, the CPU 17 accumulates the degree of respect for the words constituting the phrase and sets the accumulated result as the degree of respect for the phrase (step S305). Then, the degree of respect of the phrase and the degree of respect in the TPO data are compared (step S306), and if the degree of respect of the phrase is lower than the degree of respect in the TPO data (step S306). ; <TPO) is searched for a more respected auxiliary verb, and when such an auxiliary verb exists (step S307; Y), the auxiliary verb part of the clause being checked is replaced with the searched auxiliary verb. Thus, a recommended replacement character string is created (step S308). At this time, the CPU determines whether it is necessary to change the utilization form of the previous word by referring to the contents of the utilization form correspondence table, and if necessary, corrects the previous word. Is also performed. Also, in principle, search for auxiliary verbs with a high degree of respect by "1".
[0055]
Thereafter, the CPU determines whether or not the degree of respect of the recommended replacement character string created by the replacement matches the degree of respect that is a constituent element of the TPO data (step S309). If the two match (step S309; Y), the illustrated process ends, and the process proceeds to a step corresponding to step S105 in FIG.
[0056]
On the other hand, if the two do not match (step S309; N), the CPU proceeds to step S310. Also, when there is no auxiliary verb with higher respect (step S307; N), the CPU proceeds to step S310. In step S310, the CPU performs a process of searching for a verb, sa variable noun, and adjective with higher respect from the honorific dictionary, and when such a verb or the like exists (step S310; Y). The replacement recommended character string is created by replacing the corresponding part of the clause to be checked (or the replacement recommended character string created in step S308) with the searched verb or the like (step S311), and the process ends. To do. In step S310, as in step S308, in principle, a verb or the like with a high degree of respect is searched for by “1”. In the actual apparatus, after the completion of step S311, the degree of respect is compared with the TPO. If the two do not match, the process returns to step S307, but the flowchart is complicated. Therefore, the display of this part is omitted in FIG.
[0057]
On the other hand, when the degree of respect of the obtained phrase is higher than the degree of respect in the TPO data (step S306;> TPO), the CPU searches for an auxiliary verb having a lower degree of respect, and such an auxiliary verb exists. In (Step S312; Y), a replacement recommended character string is created by replacing the auxiliary verb part of the phrase being checked with the searched auxiliary verb (Step S313), and the degree of respect for the created replacement recommended character string And the degree of respect in the TPO data are compared (step S314).
[0058]
If the two match (step S309; Y), the CPU ends the illustrated process. If the two do not match (step S309; N), the process proceeds to step S315. Also, when there is no auxiliary verb with higher respect (step S312; N), the CPU proceeds to step S315.
[0059]
In step S315, the CPU searches the honorific dictionary for verbs, sa variable nouns, and adjectives with lower respect, and if such verbs exist (step S315; Y), the check is performed. A replacement recommended character string is created by replacing the corresponding portion of the target clause (or replacement recommended character string) with the searched verb or the like (step S316), and the process ends. Although illustration is omitted, in the actual apparatus, after completion of step S316, the degree of respect is compared with the TPO, and if both do not match, the process returns to step S312.
[0060]
In addition, when the respect level of the obtained clause matches the respect level in the TPO data (step S306; = TPO), the CPU performs the recommended replacement character string determination process without creating the replacement recommended character string. After the processing is completed and the processing corresponding to steps S105 and S109 in FIG. 2 is executed, the processing from step S302 is started again.
That is, when the document editing apparatus of the second embodiment is used to check the document shown in FIG. 12, for example, the part “please watch the game” includes four words as shown in FIG. The cumulative value of the degree of respect for each word (in this case, “0”) is regarded as the degree of respect for the character string. Then, when the degree of respect in the TPO data was “1”, the auxiliary verb “te please” was replaced with the word “please” that is the replacement word for the degree of respect “1” for the auxiliary verb. The character string becomes the recommended replacement character string and is displayed in the replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu. Also, if the degree of respect in the TPO data is “2”, the auxiliary verb “please” is replaced with “please” that is the replacement word for the degree of respect “1” for the auxiliary verb. At the same time, the observing game, which is a sao noun, is replaced with “watching game”, which is the replacement word of the respect level “1”, and the string “please watch the game” is the recommended replacement string. Is displayed in the replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu.
[0061]
According to this document editing apparatus, although the structure is complicated as compared with the document editing apparatus according to the first embodiment, conversion of honorifics used in the document can be performed more accurately.
[0062]
<Modification>
The document editing apparatus according to the first and second embodiments is configured such that the TPO setting process is executed first when the start of the honorific usage check process is instructed. It goes without saying that the apparatus may be configured such that the honorific usage usage check process, except for, is performed separately. In addition, the document editing apparatus according to each embodiment is an apparatus that targets an existing document, but the apparatus is configured such that the honorific usage method check process that excludes the TPO setting process is executed during Kana-Kanji conversion. You can also. Further, the document editing apparatus may be configured such that the replacement of the character string is automatically performed without displaying the replacement acceptance / rejection selection menu.
[0063]
The document editing device of each embodiment is configured as a dedicated device for document creation / editing (so-called word processor), as is clear from the fact that programs and the like are stored in the ROM. The method of realizing the device is not limited to this.
[0064]
For example, as schematically shown in FIG. 22, a program stored in the ROM of each embodiment and a document editing program 31 corresponding to a dictionary are transferred via a storage medium 32 such as a CD or FD and its drive 33. Thus, an apparatus having the same function as that of the document editing apparatus according to each embodiment may be realized by being installed in the computer 34. Of course, only the program part may be installed in the computer 33 and the operation may be performed with the storage medium 32 storing the dictionary in the drive 33. Of course, the program may be read directly from the storage medium 32.
