Abstract
An automatic translating machine includes a module for producing a plurality kinds of parsing trees possible for a sentence in a first language, a module for producing translated sentences in a second language based on the parsing trees, a device for designating an arbitrary word in the sentence in the first language, and a first selection device for selecting arbitrary one of a plurality of constituents of the sentence in the first language each including the word such as a verbal phrase and a noun phrase. A verbal phrase and a noun phrase can be analyzed into a plurality of subtrees due to ambiguity present in a sentence in the first language. The automatic translating machine further includes a device for selecting arbitrary one of a plurality kinds of constituents of a translated sentence in the second language (such as a verbal phrase and a noun phrase in the second language) produced based on each of the plurality of subtrees of the parsing tree corresponding to the selected constituent.
