Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a method to resolve intrasentential references of Japanese zero pronouns suitable for application in widely used and practical machine translation systems. It is highly effective because the volume of knowledge that must be prepared beforehand is not so large and its precision of resolution is good. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as conjunctions, verbal semantic attributes and modal expressions to determine intrasentential antecedents of Japanese zero pronouns. According to a windowed test. intrasentential antecedents could be resolved correctly for 98% of the zero pronouns examined using rules consistent for intersentential and extrasentential resolution.
