Abstract(in English) This paper proposes describes a method of incremental sentence production for English-Japanese spoken language translation system, which behaves like simultaneous interpretation. Since spontaneous speech appears continuously, each stage of a spoken language translation system should work incrementally. However, machine translation systems which have been proposed so far can not achieve high degree of incrementality because of the difference in word-order between the source language and the target one. In this paper, the system utilizing the inversions of characterizing Japanese spoken language according to Japanese dependency grammar, we have succeeded in the incremental transfer from English to Japanese. An experimental system on the basis of incremental chart parsing framework has been implemented.
