In Japanese sentences of the form [N{sub}1 no Adj/AdjNN{sub}2], the adjective or adjectival noun can modify either N{sub}1 or N{sub}2. This paper describes a method to determine adjectival or adjectival noun dependencies in such constructions, via dependency criteria and corpus statistics. Based on evaluation, our method is able to determe in adjective dependencies with ari accuracy of about 90%.
