<p>This invention relates to a machine translation system for automatically translating Japanese into a target language. Conventional translation systems have drawbacks such as low processing efficiency because of the necessity of cumbersome pre-editing process etc. In the machine translation system of the invention, the syntactic analysis which is a principal process in machine translation comprises the following steps: picking up an analysis rule corresponding to the combination of words from a part-of-speech matrix table that describes analysis rules corresponding to combinations of interlinked and interlinking words in order to recognize the presence of a syntactic link; successively stacking the words in which a syntactic link is recognized to be established as a partial analysis tree; and outputting an analysis tree corresponding to the original on the basis of the stacked partial analysis trees. Therefore, the number of rules for the syntactic analysis are only the square of the number of parts of speech. Unlike the prior art, therefore, there is no need of the pre-editing process, and Japanese in any style can be efficiently translated.</p> |
