待遇表現の丁寧さの計算モデル

要旨

A computational model for the degree of politeness changes with the addition of word endings in polite expressions is proposed. In this model, two stochastic features are assumed as follows: (1) for each polite expression, the situation where the polite expression is likely to use can be expressed as a probability distribution of politeness value, and (2) for each ending word, the situation corresponding to the most suitable polite expression to which each ending word adds can be expressed as a probability distribution of politeness value. The degree of politeness changes with the addition of word endings is defined by the amount of information obtained from the addition of word endings. The result of the psychological experiments supports the validity of the proposed model.
