    abstract = "A case structure expression is one of the most important forms to represent the \textit{meaning} of a sentence. Case structure analysis is usually performed by consulting \textit{case frame information} in verb dictionaries and by selecting a \textit{proper case frame} for an input sentence. However, this analysis is very difficult because of \textit{word sense ambiguity} and \textit{structural ambiguity}. A conventional method for solving these problems is to use the method of \textit{selectional restriction}, but this method has a drawback in the semantic marker (SM) system {--} the trade-off between descriptive power and construction cost. This paper describes a method of case structure analysis of Japanese sentences which overcomes the drawback in the SM system, concentrating on the structural disambiguation. This method selects a proper case frame for an input by the similarity measure between the input and typical example sentences of each case frame. When there are two or more possible readings for an input because of structural ambiguity, the best reading will be selected by evaluating case structures in each possible reading by the similarity measure with typical example sentences of case frames."
