</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper has proposed a system of 97 verbal semantic attributes for Japanese verbs which considers dynamic characteristics and the relationship of verbs to cases. These attribute values were used to disambiguate the meanings of all Japanese and English pattern pairs in a Japanese to English transfer pattern dictionary consisting of 15,000 pairs of Japanese valence patterns and equivalent English syntactic structures. As a result of examining the verbal semantic attributes for each pattern of Japanese to English paring, 90% of patterns can be described by only one attribute values. This result shows that the meanings of Japanese verbs determined by the verbal semantic attributes can be effectively limited when verbs are viewed in terms of pattern parings. Further attentions to details and tightening of standards together with extensive application of this system are now being worked on.</Paragraph>
