Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the technical knowledge for registration of nouns and to facilitate the registering jobs by displaying a paragraph including a word 'SURU' added to its ending and a paragraph including a word 'NA' added to its ending to the word to be registered and then supplying an instruction showing whether the word is grammatically proper or not via user. CONSTITUTION:A noun, e.g., 'JIKKO' [shown by figure (f) execution] registered by a user is supplied via a keyboard, etc. Both 'SURU' [showing by figure (g) execution] and 'NA' [shown by figure (b) executive] are added to the noun to be registered at a paragraph example generating part 2 for production of paragraph examples. The produced paragraph example 7 is shown at a display part 3 and the user supplies an instruction showing whether said paragraph example is proper or not. A deciding part 4 decides the result of display of the propriety whether the noun 'JIKKO' can be a 'SA' irregular conjugation verb or an adjective verb. Then the grammar information is registered to the part 4 together with the noun 'JIKKO' according to the deciding result of the part 4.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] An information processing device that processes natural language usually has a dictionary in which various words are registered, and input unknown words are compared to these dictionaries. Processing such as recognition is often performed by comparing with registered known words.

In such word dictionaries, detailed grammatical information regarding each registered word is attached to the word.

For example, when the word to be registered is a "noun", in addition to the fact that the word is a "noun", it is also necessary to register more detailed grammatical information such as that it can be an adjective verb. On the other hand, it is common for such devices to have a function that allows the user to register new words in addition to pre-prepared words. However, there was a problem in that users without specialized knowledge of grammar could not register accurately.

In order to solve these conventional problems, the present invention discloses a method that allows even a user with little knowledge of grammar to easily generate correct grammatical information when registering a new word. There is.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to language processing devices and natural language processing application systems using information processing devices, and in particular, to language processing devices and natural language processing application systems using information processing devices. Regarding the method.

[Prior Art] For example, in natural language processing systems and natural language processing application systems that use information processing devices such as devices for speech synthesis, speech recognition, automatic translation, etc., word processors, and database query systems, , a large number of words are stored in the memory as a dictionary,
A process is performed in which unknown words are recognized by comparing them.

For words to be registered in such dictionaries, detailed grammatical information must be registered at the same time as information for accurately identifying unknown words.

For example, if the word to be registered is a "noun," the information that the word is a "noun" will of course be registered, but in addition, the word (noun) can be a verb with a subflexive conjugation. It is also necessary to register more detailed grammatical information such as "Can it be an adjective verb?" or "Can it be an adjective verb?"

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned natural language processing system, when it becomes necessary to register a new word, it is also necessary to register grammatical information regarding the word along with the word.

At this time, if the new word to be registered is a "noun",
As mentioned above, the way the noun is handled depends on whether the noun can become a verb with ``suru'' or whether it can become an adjective with ``na'' or ``da.'' different.

Therefore, in word dictionaries or tables, "nouns"
In addition to this grammatical information, it is also necessary to register more detailed grammatical information (information regarding the possibility of becoming a verb or an adjective) as described above.

However, since this requires specialized grammatical knowledge regarding the word, it is difficult for users without grammatical knowledge to register such words accurately. However, there was a problem in that those who could register new words were limited to those who had specialized knowledge of grammar.

In view of these conventional problems, the present invention provides a method that allows even users without grammatical expertise to easily and accurately register words that are "r nouns" in a dictionary. It is intended to.

Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, the above objects are achieved by the means described in the claims.

That is, the present invention is an apparatus for processing language by an information processing apparatus using words registered in advance on a dictionary or table provided in a storage section, In a natural language processing device that has the function of registering arbitrary words, the user instructs the system for registering nouns as new words to register the words that have the ``suru'' at the end. The user inputs a means for displaying phrases with the word ``na'' and phrases with the word ``na'' attached, and an instruction as to whether the phrases displayed by the above means are grammatically valid. means and
The above--a word dictionary registration method that includes a means for registering, depending on human ability, information on whether the word has a character that can be used as a verb with subflexive conjugation or a character that can be used as an adjective verb. It is.

[Embodiment] As already explained, when registering a noun, the present invention generates a phrase with "suru" and "na" added to the end of the noun to be registered, and displays this phrase on a display etc. to the registrant. By having the registrant input whether it is appropriate or not using a keyboard, etc., it is determined whether it can be a variation side or an adjective verb, and the corresponding grammatical information is automatically generated. It is something that is registered in a dictionary, table, etc. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example in which the word "execution" is registered.

In the figure, 1 is the noun "execute" to be registered, 2 is the clause side generation unit, 3 is the display unit, 4 is the determination unit, 5 is the dictionary, 6 is the registrant, and 7 is an example clause displayed on the display screen. , 8 represents the validity display displayed on the display screen.

(1) The registrant inputs the noun to be registered (here, "execute") using a keyboard or the like.

(2) The clause-side generation unit 2 adds "suru" and "na" to the registered nouns to generate clause examples.

(3) Present the generated phrase example 7 on the display unit 3 (display terminal, etc.) and ask the registrant to decide whether the phrase example is appropriate or not.
Enter the information as shown in .

(4) The determining unit 4 determines whether the noun "execute" to be registered can be a variable side or an adjective verb based on the result of the validity display.

(In this example, "execution" can be on the variable side, but
(5) The grammatical information is registered in the dictionary 5 along with the noun "execute" according to the determination result of the determination unit 4.

[Effect of the invention] When registering a noun in a word dictionary, it is necessary to also register information on whether the noun can be a variable or an adjective. required specialized knowledge.

According to the present invention, when registering a noun, no specialized knowledge is required, and the registration work can be easily performed.

This has great effects in expanding the range of system use, reducing costs and man-hours for system use, and improving system use efficiency.
