In this paper, we propose a method of generating a proper categorization of morphemes by giving a hierarchical part-of-speech system and a corpus tagged using this part-ofspeech system.Our method use hierarchical information in the part-of-speech system and statistical information in the corpus to generate a category set.The statistical information is based on the context of occurrence of categories.First, we specify the format of given information.Then, we describe an algorithm to generate a proper categorization.Finally, we present the results of our experiments in applying this method.We obtaind a moderately proper categorization and found several candidates for improvement.
