This paper proposes a statistical method of acquiring knowledge about the abbreviation possibility of some of multiple phrases modifying the same verb/noun. Our method calculates weight values of multiple phrases by mutual information based on the strength of relation between the phrases among the multiple phrases and modified verbs/nouns. Among phrases modifying the same verb/noun, those having relatively low weight value are deleted. The evaluation of our method by experiments shows that the precision attains about 74.0% and the recall attains about 43.0%.
