Abstract:
1. A language transferring apparatus characterized in that said apparatus comprises: storing means of storing language rules which are obtained by training grammatical or semantic restriction rules for a word or a word string from a training database including a parallel translation corpus in which a source language sentence that is input in a form of speech or text, and that has undergone a corresponding target language transference, is automatically paired with a target language sentence comprising the source language sentence that has undergone the corresponding language transference; a speech recognizing section which performs speech recognition on input speech by using the stored language rules, and which outputs a result of the recognition in a form of a sentence that is a target language transference; a language transferring section which transfers the sentence that is the target language transference, into a transferred sentence that has undergone language transference, by using the same language rules as that used in said speech recognizing section; and a speech synthesizing section configured to aurally output a translation resultant sentence, based on the transferred sentence, wherein said speech recognizing section and said language transferring section perform each processing by dealing with one bundle defined by a style-independent phrase as a common language processing unit.
