Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have established a method to build up a corpus (treebank) which has sufficient information to automatically obtain semantic representations with syntactic annotations from diverse linguistic texts in Modern Japanese. Following the method we have established, we have annotated more than 10,000 sentences. In particular, we have solved problems concerning syntactic annotation, i.e., collocations which function as single P's, collocations functioning as modal auxiliaries, and null elements.
