Abstract
Japanese is a free word order language and ellipsis frequently occur compared with English. Japanese sentences are not suitable to be parsed by the phrase structure analysis and is generally parsed by the dependency analysis. Tree structures by the phrase structure analysis does not describe well in expressions with crossed dependencies and in words with duality of parts of speech. The major syntactic analysis based on Japanese school grammar does not generate suitable syntactic structures for meaning. In contrast with this situation, a syntactic analysis based on Tokieda grammar can explain meaning of Japanese sentences well. Miura grammar is a Japanese grammar on the Constructive Process Theory proposed by M. Tokieda, and developed by T. Miura. This paper proposes a solution to the above problems in Japanese Syntactic Analysis by grammar descriptions based on Miura language model and Miura grammar, and by controls of grammar application. A trial parser based on the ideas generates suitable syntactic structures for meaning, in one-to-N or N-to-one dependency relations, in local nest in sentences, in distinction between topic marker “ha” and contrast marker “ha” in Japanese particle “ha”, and in words with duality of parts of speech.
