PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select a conversion candidate on which a language phenomenon peculiar to Chinese is reflected at the time of extracting the conversion candidate of a homonym corresponding to a Pinyin character string being the reading of Chinese. SOLUTION: A word dictionary 24 storing Pinyin and KANJI (Chinese character) for respective words and an inter-word connection information storage part 27 storing information of the words in a mutual connection relation on Chinese language are provided for a device. When a pin in character string showing the reading of a plurality of words is inputted through an input part 21, a dictionary retrieval part 23 retrieves the words corresponding to the respective clauses of the Pinyin in character string from the word dictionary 24 as conversion candidates. The word (word in mutual connection relation) matched with the word stored in the inter-word connection information storage part 27 among the conversion candidates is detected by an inter-word connection information detection part 25 and an output part 29 preferentially outputs it. Thus, a conversion result on which the Chinese language phenomenon is reflected can preferentially be obtained. |
