Abstract(in English) We describe effects of valency patters using semantic collocations between verb and noun for problems of homophonous in Kana-to-Kanji conversion. For 4,632 sentences with homophonous of verb (verb tasts) and 504 sentences with homophonous of noun (noun tests), respectively, we tested selections of homophonous by valency patterns from "Syntactic and Semantic Dictionary" of the "Nihongo Goi Taikei". As a result, 33% of verb tests and 22% of noun tests could be selected on homophonous, reduced candidates are 49% and 37%, respectively. Average of polysemy is reduced from 4.3 to 2.9 and from 4.2 to 3.3. Accuracy is improved from 25% to 48% and from 34% to 47%, compared with random selections of homophonous.
