ABSTRACT:
A registration apparatus for a compound-word dictionary automatically and suitably determines whether a combination of character strings must be registered as one entry word in a compound-word dictionary. The registration apparatus comprises a character string segmenter which segments a compound-word into its individual words. The frequency that each individual word occurs in entry words of a compound-word dictionary is determined by an occurrence frequency calculator. An evaluation value calculator calculates an evaluation value based on the occurrence frequencies. Based on this evaluation value, a register determiner then determines if the compound-word is to be registered in the compound-word dictionary. The process for obtaining an evaluation value may depend on the number of component words and contents of the existing dictionary, a physical size limit on the compound-word dictionary and the purpose of use of the dictionary.
