Abstract
A candidate synonym acquisition device acquires a set of candidate synonyms similar to an input word for each writer from data for each writer, and acquires a set of candidate synonyms similar to the input word from a collective data. A generated candidate synonym set is inputted to a candidate synonym determination device to evaluate the candidate synonyms of the collective data. In the evaluation, the status of “absolute” is given to a word matching a word ranked first in the candidate synonyms for each writer and the status of “negative” is given to words matching words ranked second and lower therein.
