Abstract
The present invention implements retrieval of mutually related sentences even between sentences in a wide variety of languages. A related sentence retrieval system is provided with n (n is 3 or a greater natural number) cross-lingual retrieval systems for bidirectionally retrieving related sentences between sentences written in language P and sentences written in other languages A to F, a language P sentence input unit is shared by the cross-lingual retrieval systems, and the language P sentence output unit is also shared by them to implement bidirectional retrieval of related sentences via language P between sentences in the other n languages. Thus sentences in language P are handed over back and forth between the cross-lingual retrieval systems to implement bidirectional related sentence retrieval between sentences in n different languages.
