Automatic extraction of translation patterns from parallel corpora is an efficient way to automatically develop translation dictionaries, and therefore various approaches have been proposed. This paper presents a practical translation pattern extraction method that greedily extracts translation patterns based on cooccurrence of English and Japanese word sequences, which can also be effectively combined with manual confirmation and linguistic resources, such as chunking information and translation dictionaries. Use of these extra linguistic resources enables it to acquire results of higher precision and broader coverage regardless of the amount of documents.
