摘要:
In a semantic feature dictionary, names of semantic features and character strings in a first language having the semantic features are stored in a mutually associated manner. In a bilingual database, information on various conversational sentence examples is stored. Information on each conversational sentence example includes a conversational sentence example in the first language, a translation in a second language of the conversational sentence example, and a string of semantic features contained in the conversational sentence example. An analyzer extracts semantic feature names from an input sentence, free entered through an input unit, by using the semantic feature dictionary. A semantic searcher selects from the bilingual database a conversational sentence example having the largest number of semantic feature names coincident with the extracted semantic feature names. A display unit displays the selected conversational sentence example along with its translation.
摘要:
A machine interpreter and method provides a structure in which words are sorted and hierarchically displayed as candidates for substitution in particular order by the display. The words are prestored in variable and invariable word groups. The words of a variable word group are displayed, a word is selected, and a translation takes place based on an invariable word group of an input sentence and the selected word. Consequently, a time for retrieving the words can be reduced.
