Abstract
A natural language processing method, by which a sequence of natural language information is analyzed so as to derive a concept represented by the information. In this method, the input natural language information is sequentially processed as word by word. At that time, the kind of a subsequent word is expected from a currently processed word by using knowledge concerning the word order of words in the natural language information. Thus the processing is performed by eliminating ambiguity in the information on the basis of such an expectation.
