Translated-clause generating method, translated-clause generating apparatus, and recording medium

A translated-clause generating method for a translated-clause generating apparatus for generating a translated clause used in translation processing between a first language and a second language, the method comprising:

• acquiring a first clause in the first language, a first translated clause obtained by translating the first clause into a second language, a second clause in the first language, and a second translated clause obtained by translating the second clause into the second language;
• generating, as a translated clause of a third clause obtained by constructing the first clause and the second clause as one sentence by using a first conjunction in the first language, a third translated clause obtained by constructing the first translated clause and the second translated clause as one sentence by using a second conjunction in the second language;
• identifying the first conjunction, based on a connection rule stating a correspondence relationship between attribute information indicating an attribute of a sentence and the first conjunction;
• and
• generating the third clause by using the identified first conjunction, the first clause, and the second clause,
• wherein the attribute information indicates a category of a plurality of categories classified according to a meaning of the sentence.

• wherein the first clause, the first translated clause corresponding to the first clause, the second clause, and the second translated clause corresponding to the second clause are acquired from a bilingual-corpus storage that stores therein a bilingual corpus in which clauses in the first language and translated clauses obtained by translating the clauses in the first language into the second language are associated with each other;
• updating the bilingual corpus by storing the third clause and the third translated clause in the bilingual-corpus storage in association with each other;
• and
• causing a machine translation model used for the translation processing to perform learning using the updated bilingual corpus.
