Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce working burden by simultaneously registering not only word information but also information for controlling a display form on a dictionary for analysis and displaying data according to the information in the case of display. CONSTITUTION:A Japanese expression is converted to intermediate structure, which can be easily expressed, by a morpheme analysis part 11, syntax analysis part 15, English structure identifying part 18 and conversion part 22. In a syntax generation part 24, Japanese is generated for the unit of a clause, and afterwards, the arrangement of postpositional particles is decided by a morpheme generation part 25 or the inflected form of a declinable word is arranged. A dictionary 12 for analysis is equipped with an area for registering information (a display attribute) concerning the display form after executing a word processing, and after a translation processing is completed, the processing of 'character decoration' is executed to a translated word according to the display form. Thus, the desired display form can be realized to a character string deciding the display attribute in advance without passing it through a processing such as 'character decoration' or the like again, and not only the work burden of a user is reduced but also the error of executing 'character decoration' is reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Separation of Governments The present invention relates to a language processing device, and more particularly to a language processing device having a display attribute registration function.

As for the known literature describing the prior art related to the present invention, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 42-3241, a character string constituting a text is scanned from the beginning, and a dictionary for analysis is written. There is a method (``Kana-Kan conversion'') that converts the word part of a character string into a word in a dictionary by performing a process of matching the character string with the written word. In this method, the display format of the word after conversion (character font, high-intensity single-width,
There are no conversions related to (italics, underlining, dots, etc.), and if you want to change the display format, it is necessary to perform so-called r-letter decoration on the converted word.

Similarly, in the case of machine translation devices, etc., there is no change in the display form of the translated text that is the result of translating the original text, and the translated words written in the analysis #book are simply displayed. To change the display format, the "r character decoration" process is required in the same way as before.

In addition, although it has a variety of "character decoration" functions, it does not have the ability to search and replace character strings that include "character decoration" information (display attributes), and users can only search for and replace character strings that do not include display attributes. It was necessary to perform replacement and search for , and execute the "r character decoration" process again.

Purpose The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.
In the analysis dictionary, not only linguistic information (headword 1 part of speech, pronunciation, translation, etc.) but also information that controls the display format can be registered at the same time, and a language processing device that has a means to display according to the information is used. It also aims to provide.

Configuration In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides (1) at least an input means for inputting character strings with different display formats, a character string storage means with different display formats, and knowledge necessary for language analysis. A stored analysis dictionary, a display means for displaying a character string with a plurality of display attributes, a conversion means for converting the character string into a linguistic analysis result for the character string, and a display attribute is registered in the analysis dictionary. (2) a search means for searching for a character string including the display attribute; and (3) a replacement means for replacing the character string including the display attribute. In addition, (
4) The present invention is characterized by having a specifying means for specifying whether or not the registered contents of display attributes are to be used.

That is, in the present invention, the analysis dictionary is provided with an area for registering information (display attributes) regarding the display format after being subjected to language processing, and the desired display format is registered without undergoing processing such as r character decoration J. It is characterized by realizing the following.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of a language processing device according to the present invention, and the case of an English-Japanese machine translation device will be explained. In the figure, 11 is a morphological analysis unit, 12 is a dictionary, 1
3 is an inflection file, 14 is an information file 1.15 is a syntactic analysis unit, 16 is a grammar rule, and 17 is an analysis rule 1.1
8 is the English structure identification part, 19 is the information file 2.20 is the analysis rule? , 21J information file 3.22 is the conversion section,
23 is an information file 4; 24 is a syntax generator; and 25 is a morpheme generator. The dictionary 12 in the machine translation system device describes word forms, conjugated forms, parts of speech, translated words, and the like.

The input English sentence is first recognized as individual words by the form tIA elemental analysis unit 11, and special character strings such as titles and names and numbers in units of tens are grouped together as phrases.

The syntax analysis unit 15 analyzes the structure of the input English sentence.

Starting from the end of the sentence and working from right to left, the sentence structure is determined by applying dictionary descriptions and grammar rules. For example, ten prepositions, ten articles, and ten nouns are analyzed as adverbial phrases.

In the English structure identification unit 18, a tree structure is created with the verb node as the parent in order to clarify the dependencies, etc., and the dependencies of adverbial phrases are determined. Next, the establishment of the co-occurrence condition is checked, and a valid translation is taken.

The tree structure is converted by the converter 22 into an intermediate structure that easily represents Japanese phrases. After the syntax generation unit 24 generates Japanese phrases in units of phrases, the morpheme generation unit 25 determines the arrangement of particles and arranges the conjugations of predicates.

Table 1 is an example of a dictionary description that includes one display attribute.

It consists of linguistic information used for language analysis and display attributes that control the display format when displaying the translated word. Kana-Kanji conversion (
For applications such as word processors, dictionary items such as ``translation'' are not necessary, but instead items such as ``yomi'' are required. The user can apply desired "character decoration" processing to the displayed character string, and register the results in the analysis dictionary as shown in Table 1.

FIG. 2 is a display example according to the present invention. English ■ “Thes”
"e are 1talic 1etters," is subjected to each process shown in FIG. 1 and translated into Japanese.

After the translation process is completed, the translated word is subjected to the "r character decoration" process according to the display format described on the display attribute side of Table 1. In this example, the translation of "1talic" has a display attribute of "italic &bold", and therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, "italic" is displayed in italics and bold. In the case of the English sentence ■, the translated word "bold" for "bold" is displayed in bold. I in English ■
For a notation that is written only in hiragana, such as the translation of I, intPI, "hakka," adding a display attribute of "side point" will visually separate the morphemes and improve readability.

Furthermore, since not only character strings but also display attributes can be registered in the analysis dictionary, not only character strings but also display attributes can be searched and replaced. In other words, in normal character string search processing, this can be easily achieved by comparing the text to be searched (a collection of character strings) and the search character string in terms of characters, as well as performing a comparison regarding display attributes.

Furthermore, if a specification means is provided to specify in advance whether or not to use registered display attribute information during display after language processing and search/replacement, "character decoration" can be performed only when desired. can be carried out. As shown in Table 1 (OXa), an area is provided for registering whether display attributes are used for each translated word, and this column is referred to when display processing is performed. for example,
If it is 0 (display attribute is used), "character decoration" processing is performed, and if it is × (display attribute is not used), "r character decoration processing" is not performed. Similarly, in the case of search/replacement, O
If it is X, processing including display attributes is performed, and if it is X, only character strings are processed.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the language processing device according to the present invention. Below, each step will be explained in order.

Preparation: First, the results of language processing are displayed.

Next, it is determined whether the display attribute is already registered.

扛口λ; If already registered, determine whether to use the display attribute.

phantom "PA□; If used, perform r character decoration" processing.

Instead of recording whether or not each translated word is used as described above, there is also a method of providing "r character string"mode/"character string 10 display attribute" modes so that they can be switched arbitrarily. That is, if it is set to "string" mode,
One display attribute is not used regardless of whether or not the display attributes listed in each translation column are used. Conversely, if the "character string + display attribute" mode is set, the display attribute is used if it is registered, regardless of whether or not the display attribute described in each translation column is used.

Regarding replacement, display attributes are used only during search and 2M conversion is performed only on character strings without including display attributes, or display attributes are not used during search and replacement is performed including display attributes. Various specifications such as the following can be easily realized by applying this method.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but has a registration means for registering not only character strings but also display attributes of character strings in a dictionary, and according to the registered display attributes, the five character strings (
The essence of the present invention is to provide a language processing device characterized by displaying a character string (or a language processing result character string of the character string) and performing a search/replacement process on it (including display attributes). The present invention is not limited to the display attributes shown in the embodiment.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Effect corresponding to claim 1: A desired display form can be realized without having to undergo processing such as "r character decoration" for character strings whose display attributes have been determined in advance, and the user is burdened with the work. Not only is this reduced, but the number of omissions in the implementation of "letter decorations" is also reduced.

(2) Effects corresponding to claims 2 and 3: When changing the display format all at once, the user's workload is reduced.

(3) Effect corresponding to claim 4: It is possible to specify in detail whether or not to use display attributes, and when performing complicated character decoration processing, the work burden on the user is reduced.
