Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a method to convert valency patterns in A-Japanese-Lexcon to the passive voice. It is said that on converting the voice in Japanese the tendency of the change are observed, while the postposition to be changed depends on the verb. Therefore, we try to convert the valency patterns from the active voice to the passive voice based on rules. As the result of applying the 9 rules, 11,310 patterns are acquired. In the experiments of the conversion, the accuracy is 50%. According to the error analysis, we find two major problems. One is to cover the diversity when postposition suggests agent/target/method-case. The other is to add case elements to original valency patterns, if the case elements are neccessary on the passive voice while they are not necessary on the active voice.
