DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The first to sixth embodiments of the dictionary creation support apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a dictionary creation support apparatus according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 1, 1 is a national language dictionary section,
The entry word and its meaning explanation are stored in association with each other. The dictionary data is not specially processed, and may have any form as long as the entry word notation and the meaning description are associated with each other. Reference numeral 2 denotes a semantic word set storage unit that stores a headword and a semantic word set obtained by decomposing the meaning explanation sentence into word units in association with each other. The semantic word set is an independent word set obtained by decomposing a meaning explanation into words. Therefore, auxiliary words such as particles and auxiliary verbs are not included. Furthermore, even independent words such as “do” and “koto” that do not have a substantial meaning in the meaning explanation or that are not relevant to the explanation of the meaning of the headword are excluded. Reference numeral 3 denotes a sentence decomposing unit that decomposes each meaning explanation sentence stored in the national language dictionary unit 1 into a semantic word group and stores it in the semantic word group storing unit 2 in association with a headword. A basic word storage unit 4 stores basic words. Reference numeral 5 denotes a basic word extraction unit, which extracts a basic word based on the frequency information of the semantic word set stored in the semantic word set storage unit 2 and stores it in the basic word storage unit 4. The frequency information in this case is in the semantic word set of all words. The words with the highest frequency information are extracted as basic words. Generally, the meaning explanation of a national language dictionary is composed of sentences that explain the meaning of a headword in an easy-to-understand manner.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the words will be widely understood by anyone. The basic words extracted here are basic words that are easy to understand. A synonym storage unit 6 stores synonyms. A synonym extraction unit 7 associates each headword stored in the semantic word set storage unit 2 with a basic word stored in the basic word storage unit 5 included in the semantic word set storage unit.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a synonym registration unit, in which the synonym extraction unit 7 registers the headword sets associated with the same basic word as synonyms in the synonym storage unit 6. Each word and headword in the semantic word set extracted from the semantic explanation have naturally similar meanings. Furthermore, the fact that a basic word with a high frequency of occurrence is included in it means that there is a high possibility that there is a headword that holds the same basic word in the semantic word set. Therefore, having the same basic word in the semantic word set is often a synonym with a similar meaning. The present invention efficiently creates a synonym dictionary by utilizing the features of this national language dictionary.

Next, the basic operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. First, the sentence disassembling unit 3 decomposes the meaning explanation sentence of the national language dictionary unit 1 into a set of semantic word groups, and associates the headword with the semantic word group thereof and stores them in the semantic word group storage unit 2 ( Step S1). Next, the basic word extraction unit 5
A basic word is extracted based on frequency information of the semantic word set in the semantic word set storage unit 2 and stored in the basic word storage unit 4 (step S2). Next, the synonym extraction unit 7 associates the entry word with the basic word included in the semantic word set (step S3). Finally, the synonym registration unit 8
However, the synonym extraction unit 7 registers the entry word associated with the same basic word as a synonym in the synonym dictionary unit 6 (step S4).

Next, the operation will be specifically described by taking the national language dictionary unit 1 storing the contents as shown in FIG. 3 as an example. In step S1, the sentence decomposing unit 3 decomposes the meaning explanation sentence of the national language dictionary unit 1 into a set of semantic word groups, and stores the headword and the semantic word group thereof in the semantic word group storage unit 2 in association with each other. The contents of the semantic word set storage unit 2 are shown in FIG. In the next step S2, the basic word extraction unit 5 extracts “calculate” and “run” as basic words, and the basic word storage unit 4
Remember. “Run” and “seek” are commonly included in the semantic word set of four words. Therefore,
Among the words stored in the Japanese dictionary unit 1, the words that appear frequently are extracted, and these are extracted as basic words that have a basic meaning and are highly versatile. At this time, if the end forms are the same, the frequency is calculated as the same word. For example, the “request” included in the semantic word set of “request” is counted as “request”.

In the next step S3, the synonym extraction unit 7
Correspond the headword and the basic word included in the semantic word set. Then, in step S4, the synonym registration unit 8 causes the synonym extraction unit 7 to have the same basic word “calculate”.
The headword associated with "writing" is registered in the synonym dictionary unit 6 as a synonym. The contents of the synonym storage unit 6 are shown in FIG.

In the basic word extraction unit 5 of this embodiment, the basic words are extracted using the frequency information of the semantic word set stored in the semantic word set storage unit 2, but the normal words other than the frequency information are extracted. Statistical information such as distribution information and deviation value information may be used. (Second Embodiment) Next, a dictionary creation support device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 6 showing the configuration of this embodiment, the constituent elements having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 11 denotes a basic word dictionary unit, which stores in advance basic words having a basic meaning and high versatility.

The basic operation of the second embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 7, the same steps as those in the first embodiment have the same step numbers as those in the first embodiment.
First, the sentence disassembling unit 3 decomposes the meaning explanation sentence of the national language dictionary unit 1 into a set of semantic word groups, and associates the headword with the semantic word group thereof and stores them in the semantic word group storage unit 2 ( Step S1). Next, the synonym extraction unit 7 associates each headword stored in the semantic word set storage unit 2 with the basic word stored in the basic word dictionary unit 11 included in the semantic word set (step S11). The basic word dictionary unit 11 stores basic words that have basic meanings such as “ask”, “request”, and “run” and have high versatility. Finally, the synonym registration unit 8 registers the entry word associated with the same basic word by the synonym extraction unit 7 as a synonym in the synonym dictionary unit 6 (step S4).

(Third Embodiment) Next, a dictionary creation support device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 8 showing the configuration of this embodiment, the constituent elements having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 21 denotes a basic word detection unit, which detects a word in which the entry word stored in the semantic word set storage unit 2 and the semantic word set recursively refer to each other and stores it as a basic word in the basic word storage unit 4. If a general-purpose Japanese dictionary is used, each meaning word stored in the meaning word set storage unit 2 also exists as a headword, and that word can also be expanded into a meaning word set. Since the meaning explanation in the Japanese dictionary has the feature that the headword is explained by using the words that are easier to understand, it is considered that when it is repeatedly expanded to the set of semantic word, the words become easier to understand. However, if the entry word is already a sufficiently easy-to-understand word, the same word may be expanded recursively. Therefore, a word that is used recursively in the expansion into a semantic word set and has a recursive reference relationship between a headword and a semantic word set may be a basic word that is frequently and easily understood. Many.
Using this feature, the basic word detecting unit 21 extracts a basic word.

The basic operation of the third embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 9, steps having the same steps as those in the first embodiment have the same step numbers as those in the first embodiment.
First, the sentence disassembling unit 3 decomposes the meaning explanation sentence of the national language dictionary unit 1 into a set of semantic word groups, and associates the headword with the semantic word group thereof and stores them in the semantic word group storage unit 2 ( Step S1). Next, the basic word detection unit 21 detects a word in which the headword stored in the semantic word set storage unit 2 and the semantic word set recursively refer to each other, and stores the word as a basic word in the basic word storage unit 4 ( Step S21). For example, from the contents of the semantic word set storage unit 2 shown in FIG. 10, “request” and “request” are detected as basic words.
Next, the synonym extraction unit 7 associates the headword with the basic word included in the semantic word set (step S
3). Finally, the synonym registration unit 8 registers the entry word associated with the same basic word by the synonym extraction unit 7 as a synonym in the synonym dictionary unit 6 (step S4).

(Fourth Embodiment) Next, a dictionary creation support device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 11 is a block diagram of the dictionary creation support device in the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 11, constituent elements having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 31 is a synonym duplication verification registration unit which, when the synonym extraction unit 7 associates one headword with a plurality of basic words, associates it with only one main basic word and then associates it with the same basic word. Each entry word set is registered as a synonym in the synonym storage unit 6. In some cases, a plurality of basic words are included in the semantic word set. In this case, it is stored in the synonym storage unit 6 in association with only the main word representing the meaning of the headword. The main word is a word that is most closely related to the meaning of the headword among the basic words included in the semantic word set. For example, there are two possible basic words that correspond to "description", "alternate" and "writing."
More closely related to the meaning of "writing on behalf of the person" is "writing." Therefore, the synonym duplication verification registration unit 31 associates only “writing” with “description” as a basic word. In general, the denotation used later in the meaning explanation is likely to be the main basic word. In particular, it is often the case of the adjunct form, which is connected to the “thing” at the end of the sentence, such as “writing” in “description”.

The basic operation of the fourth embodiment of the present invention configured as above will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 12, the same steps as those in the first embodiment have the same step numbers.
First, the operation is sequentially performed in steps S1, S2, and S3, but since it is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. afterwards,
When the synonym extraction unit 7 associates one headword with a plurality of basic words, the synonym duplication verification registration unit 31 associates only one of the main basic words and then associates with the same basic word. The word sets are registered as synonyms in the synonym storage unit 6 (step S31). That is, it is determined whether or not it is associated with a plurality of basic words, if it is not associated with a plurality of basic words, it is registered as it is, if it is associated with a plurality of basic words, only the main basic word Correspond and register. For example, when a plurality of basic words shown in FIG. 13 are included in a set of semantic word, the correspondence shown in FIG. 14 is performed. The headwords shown in FIG. 13 each have two basic words in the set of semantic word. In each case, a noun in the adjunct form that is connected to the word “koto” at the end of the sentence is associated as the main basic word.

(Fifth Embodiment) Next, a dictionary creation support device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 15 shows a block diagram of the dictionary creation support device in the fifth embodiment. In FIG. 15, the components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment and the description thereof will be omitted. 41 is a synonym part-of-speech registration unit,
The synonym extraction unit 7 classifies each headword set associated with the same basic word for each same part-of-speech, and registers each synonym in the synonym storage unit 6.

The basic operation of the fifth embodiment of the present invention configured as above will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 16, the same steps as those in the first embodiment have the same step numbers as those in the first embodiment. First, the operation is sequentially performed in steps S1, S2, and S3, but since it is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. After that, the synonym extraction unit 7 associates each headword set associated with the same basic word with the synonym part-of-speech registration unit 41,
The synonym storage unit 6 is classified according to the same part-of-speech and is used as each synonym.
(Step S41). For example, in the case where a plurality of basic words shown in FIG.
Correspondence as shown in FIG. At this time, "billing",
Sahen nouns such as "request" are used as part of speech for both verbs and nouns, so both are registered.

(Sixth Embodiment) Next, a dictionary creation support device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 19 shows a block diagram of the dictionary creation support device in the sixth embodiment. In FIG. 19, components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 51 denotes a synonym multiple registration unit, which distinguishes the headword set associated with the same basic word by the synonym extraction unit 7 from the headword set associated with the same plurality of basic words, and stores the synonym as a synonym storage unit. Register at 6. Considering a plurality of basic words as one basic semantic word, there are synonyms for the basic word. By storing them separately, it is possible to create a highly accurate synonym dictionary.

The basic operation of the sixth embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 20, the same steps as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same step numbers as those in the first embodiment.

After that, the synonym multiple registration unit 51 distinguishes between a set of headwords associated with the same basic word by the synonym extraction unit 7 and a set of headwords associated with the same plurality of basic words, and stores each synonym as a synonym. It is registered in the section 6 (step S51). For example, when the synonym extraction unit 7 associates an entry word and a basic word set as shown in FIG.
The synonym multiple registration unit registers in the synonym storage unit 6 as shown in FIG. The 11 headwords shown in FIG. 21 all include the basic word "run" in their semantic word set. In addition, five of these words include "fast". In this case, if "fast" and "run" are considered as one semantic word, two types of synonyms are generated as shown in FIG.

[0028]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the invention described in claim 1, each meaning explanation sentence in the Japanese dictionary is decomposed into a set of semantic word and stored in association with a headword,
A basic word is extracted and stored based on the statistical information of the semantic word, and each headword is associated with a basic word included in the set of semantic word, and the headword is associated with the same basic word. Since they are classified into sets and registered as synonyms, the synonym data can be effectively extracted and input using a general-purpose Japanese language dictionary. Therefore, a synonym dictionary can be created more efficiently, and its practical effect is large, as compared with the conventional technique in which a large amount of word data is collected and then classified and registered in a synonym group. .

Further, according to the invention described in claim 2, since the basic word is extracted based on the frequency information, it can be efficiently extracted. Further, according to the invention as set forth in claim 3, by using the basic word dictionary, the operation of extracting the basic word is unnecessary, and the configuration and the operation are simplified. Further, according to the invention described in claim 4, it is simpler by extracting as a basic word a word in which the entry word stored in the semantic word set storage unit and the semantic word set recursively refer to each other. Basic words can be extracted in.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, when the synonym extraction unit associates one headword with a plurality of basic words, it associates only one main basic word with the same basic word. Since the headword set associated with each word is registered as a synonym in the synonym storage unit, it is possible to avoid registering a word having a low synonym as a synonym.
Further, according to the invention described in claim 6, since the synonyms are classified by the same part of speech and registered, the utility value is increased. Further, according to the invention described in claim 7, the synonym extraction unit distinguishes between a set of headwords associated with the same basic word and a set of headwords associated with the same plurality of basic words as synonyms. Since the registration is performed, it becomes possible to search for synonyms that share a plurality of basic words, the synonyms can be detected finely, and usage efficiency is improved.

Further, the invention methods described in claims 8 to 14 also have the effects corresponding to the inventions described in claims 1 to 7.
