Rewriting Special Structures

Since inverted or emphasizing structures may not be translated properly, make them as
simple as possible. Also, when a parenthetic phrase is inserted in a sentence with commas
before and after it, it is difficult for ATLAS to understand its parallel phrase, resulting in an
incorrect analysis.

Sentences Including Multi-part-of-speech Words

ATLAS may make an incorrect analysis when a sentence includes words with multiple parts of
speech.

When a word that may act as a verb is placed at the beginning of a sentence, ATLAS attempts
to the analyze it as an imperative sentence.

When a word that can be interpreted as a verb is placed at the beginning of a sentence, ATLAS
interprets it as an imperative sentence. In addition, it interprets a phrase as a title when no period is
placed at the end. To enable ATLAS to interpret it as an imperative sentence, put a period at the
end.

Ex. Drink with friends ( 友人がいる 飲み物 ) → Drink with friends. ( 友人と 共に飲んでく ださ い。)

Action

⇒ Rewriting an inverted structure

Ex.

×

Great was her anger when she heard it.

彼女がそれを 聞いたと き 、 大王は彼女の怒り でし た。

Her anger was great when she heard it.

彼女がそれを聞いた と き、 彼女の怒り は激し かっ たです。

Action

⇒ Identifying parts of speech implicitly

ATLAS may make an incorrect analysis when a sentence includes words with
multiple parts of speech. In this case, insert an article or comma as a symbol to
identify the part of speech.

Ex.

I have worn jacket.

私はジャ ケッ ト を 着まし た。

I have a worn jacket.

私はすり 減っ ている ジャ ケッ ト を 持っ ています。

Action

⇒ Identifying parts of speech explicitly

A part of speech can be specified by appending "_N" (noun), "_V" (verb), "_A"
(adjective) or "_D" (adverb) to a word using either upper or lower case.

Ex.

Stay in Tokyo.( 東京にいてく ださ い。)  →  Stay_N in Tokyo.( 東京での滞在。)
