2. Description of the Related Art A "document processing apparatus" of Japanese Patent Application No. 2-227637 proposed above has an input section for inputting a sentence of a target language and a division for dividing the sentence input by the input section into constituent elements. A sentence is composed of an editing unit having means, a storage unit for storing a result edited by the editing unit, and a display unit for distinguishably displaying each component divided by the dividing unit of the editing unit. It is shown in a display mode in which the constituent elements are divided into elements, which are displayed in units of constituent elements, which can be edited, and the constituent elements can be identified. In addition, Japanese Patent Application No. 2-182395
"Document creation device" of the issue, morphological analysis of Japanese sentences,
It is possible to display and edit in character units and morpheme units.

However, in such a document processing apparatus, the document is simply divided into constituent elements, and editing using the attributes of individual constituent elements cannot be performed. For example, if there are letters "Ito-sama" and "Fujita-sama" in the document,
When "sama" was replaced with "don", "something like that" in the document was erroneously converted to "it is that". Also, when I converted "Open → Open" to correct "Opened" in the document to "Opened", "Sanma no Open" was incorrectly converted to "Sanma Open" There was something. Further, in the case of searching for all the words "open" in a document, "open", "open", "open", "open", "open", and "open" must be specified respectively. In addition, it was not possible to replace only "going to work" with "going to work" among "going to school", "going to university", and "going to company". The above problem is caused by the fact that the document cannot be edited using the analysis result of the language analysis.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of a document creating apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a document input means, 2 is a document storage means, 3 is a document display means, and 4 is a language. Analysis means, 5 is document editing means, 6 is analysis result storage means, 7
Is an analysis result display means, 8 is an analysis result search means, 9 is a dictionary search means, 10 is a KWIC (Key Word In Context) creating means, and 11 is a dictionary.

The conventional document creating apparatus comprises a document inputting means, a document storing means, a document displaying means, and a document editing means. A document entered by a document input means such as a keyboard is
The document storage means stores it in the memory in the document creation device. This document data is displayed on the display or the like by the document display means. The document editing means can add, correct and delete stored document data. In the document creation device of the present invention, the document data is taken out from the document storage means 2 and the language analysis means 4 performs the language analysis. Here, the language analysis is syntactic analysis and morphological analysis, and also includes syntactic analysis in consideration of meaning and context. The analysis result obtained by the language analysis is stored in a memory or an auxiliary storage device in the document creation device. The analysis result display means 7 displays the analysis result on the display so that the user can understand it. An example is shown in FIG. in this way,
The analysis tree and parts of speech are displayed.

The analysis result is used by the document editing means 5. The document editing unit 5 can move, delete, copy, or select a word unit, a clause unit, a phrase unit, or a sentence unit by using the analysis result. Analysis result retrieval means 8
Searches by giving conditions to the contents of the analysis result. Conditions are, for example, those that specify parts of speech such as "nouns" and "verbs", and cases related to cases such as "subject = I",
For example, it specifies all inflected forms of verbs such as “walk”. Moreover, after searching the analysis result, the dictionary can be drawn from the result. For example, "all independent words" is searched, and a Japanese-English dictionary is searched for the result. As a result, the dictionary is looked up for all the words in the sentence except the attached words. From the analysis results, KWIC (Key Word In Contex
You can also get t).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the language analysis means. The data stored in the document storage means 2 is first divided into blocks (step 1) for the efficiency of language analysis. In the case of parsing, this block is a sentence and is a unit delimited by ". (Punctuation)". This can be easily separated by looking at the character type. In the case of morphological analysis, it may be separated by ", (reading mark)" or the like. If the sentence is long, it may be separated by a line break.

Now, after dividing into blocks, it is checked for each block whether the character string of the block has been changed after the previous language analysis (step).
2). This can be achieved by the document editing means 5 marking the data each time the document data is corrected. Language analysis is performed only on the changed block (step 3). The result is stored in the memory or the like together with the (previous) analysis result of the block that has not been changed (step 4). With the above method, it is possible to efficiently analyze the language of document data.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the analysis result searching means. First, search conditions are input (step 1). Next, specify the search range (step 2), and search for a match with the stored analysis result (step 2).
3). Finally, the search result is output (step 4). The analysis result is stored in the memory in the form of a table as shown in Table 1 below, for example.

[0012]

[Table 1]

Here, the "position" indicates the position in the document by the number of characters. The number is the number of the word and indicates the number of the word in the sentence. The word represents the notation of the word, and the headword represents the basic form of the inflectional form. Contact number is
It is a word number indicating which word the word relates to. The search condition is, for example, “headword = go” or “word = like a
nd part-of-speech = suffix ”or“ part-of-speech (reference) = verb and word = yesterday. ”These are within the category of relational databases, and can be done by publicly known techniques. From the results, you can search for data that matches the search criteria, and then you can display the data or use the "position" information to move the cursor to that position. .. As described above, it becomes possible to perform a search using the result of language analysis. Also, the replacement can be performed in the same manner.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the dictionary search. First, only independent words are extracted from the language analysis result. This is "part of speech ≠ auxiliary verb and part of speech ≠
You can search like "particle" (step 1). For each word (headline) obtained from this result, a dictionary is searched (step 2) and the result is displayed (step 3). An example is shown in FIG.
Shown in. Although FIG. 6 shows the case of a Japanese-English dictionary, the same applies to other dictionaries.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for creating a KWIC. Similar to the dictionary search, only independent words are extracted from the language analysis result (step 1), and headwords are sorted (step
2). Then, for each word, the character strings before and after in the sentence are added (step 3) and displayed (step 4). The result is shown in FIG. The numbers in the figure are the positions of the words in the sentence. You can also use it to move the cursor to where the word is used. As described above, it is possible to linguistically analyze a document and edit / search / replace using the analysis result. It is also possible to search the dictionary and create KWICs from the analysis results.
