Abstract

Abstract A translation machine is arranged to derive two or more syntaxes from one original sentence, determine which of the syntaxes is the most approximate according to a syntax priority rule given by a user or a manufacturer and output a translated sentence based on the most approximate syntax. The translation machine includes a memory, a translating module and a main CPU as main components. The memory serves to store a partial structure of each syntax and a syntax priority rule containing a numerical value indicating a priority of the partial structure and an incidental condition of the syntax. The translating module serves to collide the syntax priority rule stored in the memory with the syntax of the original sentence and giving a proper evaluating value to the syntax of the original sentence. The main CPU serves to output the translated sentences on the syntaxes derived from the original sentence according to their larger evaluating values.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 115 words
A syntax analyzing machine having a function of deriving two or more syntactic structures from one original sentence, comprising: storing means for storing information on fitness of each of syntactic structures; input means for inputting and modifying said fitness information to be stored in said storing means; structure deriving means for deriving a plurality of syntactic structures of said original sentence; determining means for determining the precedence order of said plurality of syntactic structures by referring to said fitness information stored in said storing means; display means for displaying said plurality of syntactic structures in said precedence order; and wherein said input means includes indicating means for indicating said precedence order is proper or not.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 115 words
A syntax analyzing machine having a function of deriving two or more syntactic structures from one original sentence, comprising: storing means for storing information on fitness of each of syntactic structures; input means for inputting and modifying said fitness information to be stored in said storing means; structure deriving means for deriving a plurality of syntactic structures of said original sentence; determining means for determining the precedence order of said plurality of syntactic structures by referring to said fitness information stored in said storing means; display means for displaying said plurality of syntactic structures in said precedence order; and wherein said input means includes indicating means for indicating said precedence order is proper or not.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The syntax analyzing machine according to claim 1, wherein said fitness information includes binary data assigned to each of syntactic structures.
