| Abstract(in English) | This paper reports preliminary results of Japanese-English machine translation for postpositional phrases based on non-compositional language model. According to this model, the meaning of the input sentence is captured by sentence pattern. However, the postpositional phrases which are decided as compositional by the pattern can not be translated by the pattern. In order to translate such phrases, we construct "postpositional phrase pattern dictionary," which consists of the pairs of Japanese postpositional phrase pattern and English prepositional phrase pattern. At first, we extract the pairs from the dictionary of complex/compound Japanese-English sentence patterns, because this dictionary contains many pairs of post/pre-positional phrases described by letters and variables. As the results, 925 pairs of post/pre-positional phrase patterns are extracted. Next, in the experiment on Japanese-English machine translation of simple sentences, we confirmed that the Japanese postpositions are perfectly covered and the 79% of the English prepositions are covered and potentially translated by our dictionary. |
