A natural language processing system and method in which, in order to achieve a high accuracy of recognition of natural language information, a series of natural language information groups is progressively and sequentially recognized, with reference to a knowledge base which contains knowledge concerning the types of natural language information to be processed and knowledge concerning restriction in regard to the sequence of units of the series of natural language groups. In the course of the sequential recognition, the kind of the object to be recognized subsequently is expected based on the kinds of objects in the series of information groups which have been recognized, and a recognition result of the type which coincides with the expected type is delivered as a candidate output.
