PURPOSE:To provide a natural language processing device by which a proper reading sound can be outputted even on an abbreviated word or the like which is not registered in language dictionary data. CONSTITUTION:Kinds of characters are judged on a character text inputted to an input device 1 by a character kind judging part 5, and hypothetic candidates such as the whole phonemes (reading) or word punctuation are enumerated by a dictionary searching part 6, and the most suitable candidate is selected by a hypothetic candidate selecting part 7. An unclear word reading guessing part determines the phoneme on characters containing a Chinese character treated as an unclear word with every individual Chinese character according to a prescribed rule by the hypothetic candidate selecting part 7. A loudspeaker 13 outputs a leading sound corresponding to the character text according to the phoneme determined by the hypothetic candidate selecting part 7 and the unclear word reading guessing part. |
