Traitement automatique du japonais et études linguistiques

Abstract

: This article presents the state of the art in NLP research applied to Japanese and the relationship between this field and Japanese linguistics. Three aspects will be tackled : 1) the problems that are specific to NLP and that may trigger original reflection in the field of linguistics ; 2) the difficulties which linguists are not usually conscious of, but on which NLP casts new light ; 3) the data which are extensively dealt with in « traditional » linguistics and which are specific to Japanese — and understanding the latter requires the study of the Japanese linguistics' literature.
