PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To estimate the reading of a sentence or a phrase with high accuracy and realize the estimation of reading at low cost.SOLUTION: A reading estimation device 1 includes a data storage unit 10 in which are stored language dictionary data 11 that stipulates correspondence between a language element, the reading of the language element, and the semantic concept of the language element and cooccurrence dictionary data 12 that stipulates correspondence between a language element, the reading of the language element, and the semantic concept of a language element having a dependency relation with the language element, as well as a reading candidate generation unit 22 and a reading estimation unit 23. The reading estimation unit 23 detects a pair of language elements having a dependency relation from among the language elements extracted by a morpheme analysis unit 21, and, when there exists a plurality of reading candidates for one language element constituting the pair, estimates the reading of the one language element using the language dictionary data 11 and the cooccurrence dictionary data 12.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
