Major difficulties in the style selection,which guarantees the synthesis of good-styled natural expressions under the PIOVT MT system, are an absence of surface-level extra-information in the languageinde-pendent intermediate representation and the language-specific style of expressions due to cultural differences.This paper describes an attempt on the style selection with capabilities of guaranteeing more natural Korean expressions,which includes pragmatic and stylistic decision on target voice genertaion under heavy passive constraints,stylistic changes of sentence-structures,and meaning-supplementation of function words with content words.
