Abstract
An apparatus for and a method of selecting a target language equivalent of a predicate word in a source language word string for use in a machine translation system in which use is made of a dictionary having records, each including data on an entry word of a predicate source language word, on predicate target language words equivalent to the entry source language word and on semantic features of non-predicate words related to a case governed by the predicate target language words or including data on an entry word of a non-predicate source language word, on a non-predicate target language word equivalent to the entry source language word and on semantic features of the non-predicate target language word. A processor is coupled to the dictionary for fetching therefrom the semantic feature data of the non-predicate words serving as arguments for the case governed by the predicate target language words equivalent to the predicate word in the source language word string and the semantic feature data of one of the non-predicate target language words which is equivalent to the non-predicate word in the source language word string, carrying out numerical operations between the fetched data to provide a plurality of operation results, and selecting one of the operation results according to predetermined criteria and determining that one of the predicate target language words which has the data of the non-predicate words providing the selected operation result as the target language equivalent of the source language predicate word.
