Abstract(in English) In order to compile a dictionary of new words, identification of their syntactic categories and conjugation types is necessary. In Japanese language, Hiragana characters that appear just after a Gokan (word stem) are very strong clues for conjugation identification, because each conjugation type has a different set of conjugation forms with Hiragana suffixes. This paper presents a method of identifying conjugation types of Japanese words based on their succeeding Hiragana characters and describes two empirical experiments: performance evaluation using existing words as pseudo held-out, and conjugation identification of unknown Katakana words.
