Word-to-word connection approval unit

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To approve the propriety of a grammatical connection between two words by storing words in a word dictionary memory together with added right grammatical properties and left grammatical properties and then by generating a connection matrix on the basis of left and right grammatical properties. CONSTITUTION: Word "teki" (suffix standing for -tic or -tical) is an adjective verb when viewed from the right hand side and follows a noun when viewed from the left hand side and whether it can be connected to right R or left L of each word is expressed by "1" in a matrix for avilability for connection or by "0" for nonavailability while rows correspond to right grammatical properties and columns correspond to left grammatical properties. Word dictionary memory 3 is stored with left grammatical property information 3-1 and right grammatical property information 3-2 and when a leading word and following word are sequentially input from input word register 1, property information read out of memory 3 is held in buffers 5 and 6. Next, information read out of connection matrix memory 8 by the right grammatical property information in buffer 5 and left grammatical property information in buffer 6 are supplied to bit selecting circuit 10, thereby outputting the propriety of the connection in the form of "1" or "0".
