"abstract": "We propose a method for acquiring plain lexical paraphrase using a Japanese dictionary in order to achieve lexical simplification for children. The proposed method extracts plain words that are the most similar to the headword from the dictionary definition. The definition statements describe the headword using plain words; therefore, paraphrasing by replacing the headword with the most similar word in the dictionary definition is expected to be an accurate means of lexical simplification. However, it is difficult to determine which word is the most appropriate for the paraphrase. The method proposed in this paper measures the similarity of each word in the definition statements against the headword and selects the one with the closest semantic match for the paraphrase. This method compares favorably with the method that acquires the target word from the end of the definition statements.",

To achieve information transmission and gathering effectively, we must address the gap in readers' linguistic skills. The gap of linguistic skills results from differences in age, such as between children and adults, as well as from differences in expert knowledge. In the effort to bridge this gap, and also to facilitate better communication with foreign language speakers [8] and people with disabilities, technology can play an important role.",

"text": "Although there are some methods [10] proposed for automatically acquiring paraphrasable expressions from Web pages, the quality of the results are still unsatisfactory. Hence typical methods use thesauri or dictionaries. Thesaurus is a language resource that contains semantically classified vocabulary words. Methods that utilize a thesaurus have an advantage in that they can measure the semantic relatedness between words (i.e., the distance between meanings). Japanese dictionaries are another language resource that provides the definition of a given lemma. Methods that utilize a dictionary have an advantage in that they are able to acquire simplified text. The aim of this study is to simplify the text of newspaper article through paraphrasing based on the use of a Japanese dictionary. Fujita et al. [1] and Mino and Tanaka [9] paraphrased the headword of a noun in a dictionary as the headword of another noun by assessing the similarity of the definitions for the two. Yet, as also reported by Mino and Tanaka, the target words acquired by this method are not simpler than the original words. We paraphrase by taking advantage of Japanese dictionary characteristics, namely that \"The definition statements are simpler than the headwords\" [9] , because our aim is lexical simplification.",
