When a portion of an input speech sentence contains an untrained portion or when speech recognition is partly erroneously performed, transference to the target language is disabled. Moreover, a phrase dictionary and interphrase rules which are necessary for transference must be manually produced. Therefore, development is low in efficiency and requires much labor. An apparatus includes: a language rule producing section which statistically automatically trains grammatical or semantic restriction rules for a partial word or a word string from a parallel-translation corpus, and in which rules are described in the form wherein a source language partial sentence corresponds to a target language partial sentence; a speech recognizing section which performs speech recognition on speech of the source language by using the produced language rules, and which outputs a result of the recognition; and a language transferring section which transfers a source language sentence into a target language sentence by using the same language rules. Even when a portion of an input speech sentence contains an untrained portion or when speech recognition is partly erroneously performed, transference to the target language is surely enabled. Moreover, a phrase dictionary and interphrase rules which are necessary for transference can be automatically produced without requiring much manual assistance.

A play list producing apparatus retrieves words related to a query from a thesaurus database, and selects one of the related words based on the respective degrees of relevancy of the related words to the query. Music data files having such metadata that correspond to the selected related word are retrieved from a music database. The retrieved music data files are evaluated about suitability for the play list. Based on the evaluation result, a music data file is selected and registered on the play list. Then, metadata attached to the just registered music data file is served as a query for retrieving the next music data file to be registered on the play list. These processes are repeated to register music data files one after another on the play list insofar as the produced play list satisfies conditions designated by the user.
