Abstract(in English) Identifying idioms in sentences is essential to structure text, especially to identify verb semantics. This task is, however, difficult because an idiom has not only different semantics by relation between a verb and its modifier nouns, but also different paraphrases. To solve this, we have constructed idiom identification system using grammatical rules based on user-editable dictionaries. This system can detect idioms exhaustively, absorbing morphological variants such as replacement of particles or transformation of idiom construction caused by insertion of words. It can also cooperate with Argument Structure Annotator to identify verb semantics, dealing with idiom paraphrases and adopting semantic concept on Thesaurus of Predicate Argument Structure. Furthermore, it allows users easily to register idiom rules in the user-editable dictionaries in XML without word segmentation nor POS information. In this paper, we propose specifications of the user-editable dictionaries and an exhaustive detection method to absorb morphological variants. The experimental results of idiom identification task reveal that the proposal method works well and is effective for semantic disambiguation of idioms.
