Abstract

In this study, we proposed a system for translating Japanese compound nouns in simple Japanese. Compound nouns are known to make sentence comprehension difficult for non-native speakers. This system first extracts compound nouns that are composed of two nouns and the first noun is a Sa-hen noun by using a morphological analyzer. If the first noun is in the first grade of the previous Japanese-language proficiency test, it is translated with its definition in a web dictionary, Wiktionary. We developed a method to select a suitable tense of the definition depending on the second noun of the compound noun. The system works on web browsers and can be used via the Internet at no charge.
