Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] In an accent position learning device or the like, a learner memorizes an accent position by repeatedly learning a word and the accent position of that word.

This required a lot of time. The present invention memorizes general accent position rules and exception words and accent positions that do not fall under these rules, indicates the accent position of the input word, and displays the accent position rules. According to the invention, a learner can memorize rules for accent positions of words having common accent positions, and the learner's learning efficiency can be improved.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a processing device for words such as English, and more particularly to an accent position learning device for indicating word accent positions.

[Traditional technique]

In English, each word has an accent, and learners studying English must memorize the position of this accent with respect to each word.

Currently, accent learning devices have been developed for such learners. This accent learning device stores each word and its corresponding accent position, and uses this data to instruct and display accent positions for input words or randomly extracted words. FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a conventional word accent learning device. The word spelling data memo IJ21 is a memory that stores words, for example English words. The contents of this memory are read out by the problem extraction section 22. For example, in order to ask a learner 10 accent position questions, the question extraction section 22 randomly extracts 10 words from the word spelling data memory 21. Then, the word is displayed on the display unit 23. In response to this display, the learner, ie, the operator, inputs the accent positions for the ten words using the accent position input section 24.

Accent position data input from the accent position input section 24 is applied to an accent position comparison section 25.

The word accent data memory 26 contains the ft1i! stored in the word spelling data memory 21! Accent data corresponding to the data is stored, and the accent data of the ten extracted words described above is output to the accent position comparison section 25 word by word.

The accent position comparison section 25 is a circuit that compares the word accent data memory 26 and data added from the accent position input section 24. These 2 (compare prisoner data,
When they match, the correct answer is output to the display section 23. In addition to outputting accent data to the accent position comparison unit 25, the word accent data memory 26 also outputs accent data corresponding to the word to the display unit 23 each time it is input from the accent position input unit 24.
For example, even if the learner inputs incorrect data, i.e., the learner makes a mistake, the correct accent position will be displayed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned learning device, the learner has to memorize the accent position for each word, and it takes a lot of time to learn, that is, to memorize the accent position.

Furthermore, as the number of words to memorize increased, more time was required to study them. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an accent position learning device that is capable of learning not only the accent positions of many words but also child accent position rules in a short amount of time.

[Failure to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the present invention. 1 is a first storage means that stores rules for accent positions of character strings representing words; 2 is a character string and accent of a word having an accent position that does not follow the rules for accent positions stored in the first storage means; second storage means for storing the position, 4
3 is a display means, 3 is a first storage means 1, and a second storage means 2.
This is a control means that instructs the accent position in the input word data based on the content of the word data, and also controls to display the accent position rules stored in the first storage means 1 on the display means.

[For production]

Input word data is added to the control means 3 from a device not shown. When the input word data is added, the control means 3 determines whether the input word data is included in the word character string data stored in the second storage means. When the word character string is included, the display means 4 displays the accent position and the rule stored in the first storage means in the input word data from the accent position data corresponding to the word character string. If it is not included, the display means 4 displays the accent position in the input word data using the rule data stored in the first storage means, and also displays the rule data on the display means 4. The learner learns by writing down the accent positions displayed on the display means 4, and also learns the rules for accent positions.

〔Example〕 Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a circuit configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart of the embodiment of the present invention.

When the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 2 starts operating upon power-on, the display section 15 first executes a display S1 to instruct whether to ask a question or to display the accent position of the input word.

Based on this display, the operator operates an operation unit (not shown) to instruct one of the processes. In response to this instruction, instruction data is added to the input section 5. The input unit 5 discriminates this instruction data and applies a question extraction instruction signal to the question extraction unit 6 (not shown) when a question is asked (mountain shape). A word spelling data memory 7 is connected to the problem extraction unit 6.
For example, 10 words are randomly extracted from a plurality of word data stored in the word spelling data memory 7 (S2)
and outputs it to the display section 15. Then, the display unit 15 displays the extracted word. Further, when input is selected (input), word data is added to the input unit 5 by the learner's act from the operation unit (not shown) (S4). The input unit 5 outputs the word data to the display unit 15 for display (S3). The problem is presented by the display described above.

The data added to the input section 5 is input to the exception word checking section 8, and the data output from the problem extraction section 6 to the display section 15 is also added.

As mentioned above, since the display unit 15 indicates whether to ask a question or select an input, word data is added from the question extraction unit 6 when asking a question, and from the input unit 5 when selecting an input. The exceptional word checking unit 8 is connected to the exceptional word spelling data memory 9, and the exceptional word checking unit 8 determines whether or not the aforementioned word data exists in the exceptional word spelling data memory 9 (S7). In this determination, if the word is not an exception word (N), accent position estimation processing S5 is performed. First, the exception word checking unit 8 outputs the word data added from the input unit 5 to the accent position estimation unit 10. The accent position estimation unit 10 has an accent rule memory 11
and obtain the accent position from the accent rule data, that is, the accent rule. The accent rule memory 11 stores data written in the following notation: (1) A-48/XY (2) A-+B/X(Y)Z.

■ is data that, if character string A exists between character string X and character string Y, is replaced with character string B (φ (number of characters O) is also accepted as a character string). For example, φ-A/X Y
indicates that when character string Y follows character string X, character string A is inserted between them. Also A-φ/X
Y indicates that the character string A sandwiched between the character strings X and Y is to be deleted.

■ is data that replaces character string A with character string B when the character strings X, Y, A, and Z continue (however, the characters in character string Y may or may not exist).

In addition, the above character string is the alpha vent (
In addition to lowercase letters), there are numbers representing accent numbers such as 1 and 2, ■ representing a vowel, and * representing a C1 word break representing a consonant. For example, φ=1/V (CCC)i
c* indicates that when a vowel V exists, is followed by 0 to 3 consonants, and ends with ic, the symbol 1 indicating the first accent is inserted after the vowel.

That is, ROMANTI C and MECHAN I
Words such as C are ROMA I NT I C, MECH
It is converted to A I N I C, and 1 representing the first accent is inserted in the second syllable.

φ=1/V (CCC)i c * is one example, and data describing many other rules is stored in the accent rule memory 11.

Based on the above-described structure of ■, ■ and each character, a rule corresponding to the input word data is selected and an accent position is specified (S5). The accent data is then added to the accent position comparison section 12.

On the other hand, when the exceptional word checking unit 8 determines that the word is an exceptional word (S7) (Y), the accent position comparison unit 12 accesses the exceptional word accent data memory 14 and determines the accent of the target word, that is, the accent of the input word data. The exceptional word accent data representing the position is read (S6).

Through the above-described processing (S5 and S6), accent position data for input word data is added to the accent position comparison unit 12.

On the other hand, an accent position input section 13 is connected to the accent position comparison section 12 . Accent position input section 1
3 is operated by the learner, and is the accent position T of the word displayed by the problem presentation process (S3).
This is a circuit that inputs This accent position input section 13
As a result, the accent position data of the learner is added to the accent position comparing section 12 (S8).

The accent position comparison unit 12 determines whether the learner's accent position data added from the accent/position input unit 13 is correct (S9). When it is an exceptional word, data is added from the exceptional word accent data memory 14, and when it is not an exceptional word, it is added from the accent position estimation unit 10.
The learner's accent position data added from the above-mentioned accent position input section 13 are compared.

In this comparison, if there is a match, that is, a correct answer, the accent position comparing section 12 displays the correct message on the display section 1.
5, and the display unit 15 displays the message (
SIO). Then, the next question question or input selection process (Sl) is performed in the same manner. That is, the operation returns to the starting operation of the circuit in FIG. On the other hand, when the answer is not correct,
The accent position comparison unit 12 outputs and displays on the display unit 15 that the learner's answer is incorrect (311). Next, the accent position estimating unit 10 presents rule data from the accent rule memory 11, that is, displays general accent position rules (S12), and then
A common example of the same rule is presented (S13). Since the accent rule memory 11 stores not only accent rule data but also word data of the example problem, the accent position estimating unit 10 stores the word data of the example problem by the accent position estimating unit 10 in this same rule common example presentation process (S13). Read and display the stored example word data.

In the above-mentioned operation process, since the rule presentation (S12) and the presentation of the same rule application example (313) are displayed even if they are exception words, next, the accent position comparison section 12 uses the result added from the exception word check section 8. From (S14), when the word is an exception, the correct answer is read from the exception word accent data memory 14 and displayed (S15). If the answer is incorrect, and the word in question is an exception word, indicate the rule that should be applied to the spelling of the word in question, and give an example where the same rule is applied, in the same way as above. At the same time, it also indicates that this word is an exception, and indicates the correct accent position.

Furthermore, when the question word is not an exception word, there is an accent position according to the accent rule, so the next question question or input selection process (Sl) is performed in the same way. Furthermore, even if the word is an exception, the same applies after the correct answer is presented.

Although not shown, the exception word checking unit 8, problem extraction unit 6, accent position comparison unit 12, accent position estimation unit 10, and accent position input unit 13 are connected to a control circuit,
Each of these circuits performs processing operations under the control of this control circuit.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be used not only for English but also for languages with accents such as German.

Furthermore, it can be used not only for accents but also for conjugating past and past participles in verbs.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a word spelling data memory 7 is provided for extracting questions, but if the word spelling data memory 7 is not extracted and the accent position is specified only for questions input by the learner, No word spelling data memory is required.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention stores rules for accent positions and also stores exceptional word accent data, so that not only words based on general rules but also exceptional words whose accent positions are exceptions can be used to By displaying accent rules on a display device, it is possible to teach accent position estimation rules related to individual words, so students can proceed with learning while estimating accent positions instead of relying on rotary notes. . Therefore, students can learn not only the accent position of each word but also the accent position rules of each word. Furthermore, even for words that the device does not remember, by having the student input the spelling, the accent position can be taught according to rules.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a highly efficient accent learning effect can be obtained.
