We focus on generating a yes-no question whether a user is interested in the utterance of a councilor. An example of a political question is as follows: nisankatanso(N1) no haisyutu(N2) nituite kuwasiku sir- itai desu ka? (Do you want to know more about emission levels of carbon dioxide?) In this paper, N1 and N2, mean a noun or a com- pound noun. The form N1 no N2 which includes the Japanese post- positional no has a much broader usage. These expressions of the form N1 it no N2 cannot often use a question expression for asking the interesting such as simin no minasan (All of citizens). Therefore, our method checks if an expression is whether a user can understand a question expression. Moreover, our method expands the expression N1 when a question expression of the form N1 no N2 is ambiguous. The experiment results yielded good.}, }
