PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply and highly accurately estimate a feeling expressed by an input text and an image formed from the text. PSOLUTION: A morphological analysis dictionary 31 sets dictionary data associating morphological notations with conceptual information offering a clue to the estimation of emotional information. A morphological analysis part 34 uses the morphological analysis dictionary 31 to create morphological analysis data including data associating morphemes and conceptual information from an input text. An expression pattern matching processing part 35 uses a conceptual expression dictionary 32 to set specific concepts in given morpheme sequences in the morphological analysis data. First to fourth estimation processing parts 37 to 40 are then activated in order to execute stepwise estimation processing in clause, sentence, paragraph and text units and estimate emotional information corresponding to each unit.
