Syntactic information tagging support system and method

A syntactic information tagging support method comprising:

• retaining a target sentence for parsing;
• performing parsing processing on the retained sentence to output parsing result candidates;
• performing semantic analysis processing on the retained sentence to output semantic analysis result candidates;
• retaining analysis result information including the parsing result candidates, the semantic analysis result candidates, and correspondence relations between the parsing result candidates and the semantic analysis result candidates;
• determining a correct semantic analysis result by use of user interface for presenting at least one optional item of the semantic analysis result, which is necessary to determine an analysis result, to a user based on the parsing result candidates and the semantic analysis result candidates so as to allow the user to select the correct semantic analysis result;
• determining a correct parsing result candidates based on the determined semantic analysis result and the retained analysis result information;
• and
• performing tagging with tags indicating syntactic information upon the retained sentence based on the determined parsing result.
