| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research was to develop a Japanese/English idiom database using large-scale corpus data. In order to investigate the frequency of a list of idioms, corpus data was gathered. Then, an idiom database(with about 1, 500 idioms) was constructed on the Internet. For each idiom, the following items were included : reading, Romanized spelling, meaning, idiom type, frequency information, and example sentences. Because the amount of example sentences extracted from the corpus data was so huge, the editing process still continues.
