Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research aim has been to develop methods of visualising and making accessible semantic information from analyses of Japanese and English, notably: connective, predicate, argument, and operator-binding information.

The key result of this work has been the development of a visualisation tool for semantic relationships derivable from parsed corpus data. This tool has the capability to present many relationships found internally to sentences and across discourse, e.g., providing a way to visualise semantic roles, and anaphoric dependencies. This aids human annotators building a parsed corpus to assess whether their interpretations of sentences (and discourse) have been adequately captured by the annotation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

視覚化ツールは次の解析情報付きコーパスの構築で利用されている:(1) 英語(TSPC,7026ツリー,87182語,http://www.compling.jp/ajb129/tspc.html),(2) 現代日本語(NPCMJ,30460ツリー,505319語,http://npcmj.ninjal.ac.jp/interfaces), (3) 上代日本語(MYS97,159ツリー,2549語,http://www.compling.jp/mys97)。これにより,以前は不可能であった依存関係の層を視覚的に示すということが、数千の実例という規模で可能になった。
