As the semantic relations between the two nouns in the noun phrase are not made explicit the interpretation of the phrases depends mainly on the semantic characteristics of the nouns. This paper describes the semantic diversity of A no B and a method of semantic analysis for such phrases based on feature unification. 1. Introduction Japanese has many noun phrase patterns of the type A no B. The noun phrase pattern which consists of two nouns A and B with an adnominal particle no and which has at least the same ambiguity as B of A and some additional ambiguities not found with the equivalent English construction does not express any explicit semantic relations between the two nouns. Consequently its interpretation depends mainly on the semantic characteristics of the nouns. Furthermore phrase patterns Nị no N2 no . no Nn often appear. Because the number of possible dependencies between the constituents is 2 1 2n-3 nỉ semantic analysis of such phrases is necessary to resolve the ambiguities. To date there have been no adequate analyses for this linguistic phenomenon nor have there been any clear methodological proposals for its semantic analysis. This paper describes a the semantic diversity of A no B b the analysis of the semantic structure for A no B by a unification-based method of semantic function application c typical semantic structures of A no B d the possibility of paraphrasing A no B as a noun phrase with a relative clause by the addition of a verb and e the resolution of ambiguities using contextual information from the viewpoint of relation between A no B and its corresponding relative clause. Although A no B is a simple .
