Selecting a target language equivalent of a predicate word in a source language word string, in a machine translation system

摘要

For selecting a target language equivalent of a predicate word in a source language word string a processor is used for fetching from a dictionary semantic feature data 44a of non-predicate words serving as arguments for the case governed by predicate target language words 43 equivalent to the predicate word 41 in the source language word string, fetching semantic feature data 44b of a non-predicate target language word 43 which is equivalent to an associated non-predicate word 41 in the source language word string, carrying out numerical operations between the fetched data 44 and 44b to provide a plurality of operation results, selecting one of the operation results, according to predetermined criteria, and selecting that one of the equivalent predicate target language words which has the data 44a providing the selected operation result as the required target language equivalent of the source language predicate word. …IMAGE…
