Abstract

Although Japanese is widely regarded as a relatively free word order language, word order in Japanese is not entirely arbitrary and has some sort of preference. As a result, it is an important technique to produce a sentence that is not only grammatically correct but also easy to read. This paper proposes a method for the word ordering of a whole Japanese sentence when the dependency relations between words are given. Using BERT, the method identifies the easy-to-read word order for a syntactic tree based on bottom-up processing. We confirmed the effectiveness of our method through an experiment on word ordering using newspaper articles.
