Guoqing Li, Takashi Yoshino (Wakayama Univ) AI2014-36
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) There are three honorific expression in Japanese Language. However, honorific expression is complex that it is not easy to use accurately even though, for Japanese. It is also so difficult that foreigners are hard to understand the meaning of the honorific sentences. The reason is that, it is not familiar with honorific sentences, and Kanji is so difficult that foreigners can not understand.Conventional Japanese reading support system can display the description of the words included in the entered texts.However, users of the system have to see the description of the sentence and the words at the same time. There are some problems in the research of converting honorific forms to common forms. If the users can not understanding the meaning of the common words, they can not understanding the whole sentence`s meaning. Therefore, we have developed a honorific sentence comprehension support system for foreigners. The system has three steps: a converting step, an annotation step and a translation step. As the result of the experiment, we found the following: (1)Although this system was the highest compared to conventional system(Reading Tutor), about the value of understanding the sentences, the difference was not significant. (2)In order to support for languages good foreigners, it will be necessary to add the function of translating the interpretation of the word.
