A defect predicate expression extraction device. The device extracts, as candidates for predicate expressions representing defects, predicate expressions occurring in the neighborhood of predicate modifying expressions representing suddenness or predicate modifying expressions representing repeatability. The defect predicate expression extraction device further extracts, as predicate expressions representing normality, predicate expressions occurring in the neighborhood of predicate modifying expressions representing normality and extracts predicate expressions representing defects by removing the predicate expressions representing normality from a list of the candidates for predicate expressions representing defects.
