In texStudio basically the following code returns the expected result:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage[japanese]{babel}

\begin{document}

\[ \begin{rcases}
    \begin{rcases}
        \begin{alignedat}{2}
            V \\[-1.5ex]                
            \\[-1.25ex]
            I -adj
        \end{alignedat}
    \end{rcases}
    % Jisho \\
    \text{Jisho}\\
    \begin{rcases}
        \begin{alignedat}{2}
            NA -adj \\[-1.5ex]
             \\[-1.25ex]
            N1
        \end{alignedat}
    \end{rcases}
    \begin{split}
        Jisho\\Trans
    \end{split}
\end{rcases}
\text{Result}
\]

\end{document}

As you can see, the two braces left are not aligned. Is it possible to align on the brace-symbol?

Something like this?

enter image description here

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[japanese]{babel}
\usepackage{mathtools,array,booktabs}

\begin{document}

[ \setlength\arraycolsep{0pt} \renewcommand\arraystretch{1.33} \left. \begin{array}{rr} \left.\begin{array}{r} V \ I-adj \end{array}\right} & \multicolumn{1}{l}{\text{Jisho}} \ \addlinespace \left.\begin{array}{r} NA-adj \ N1 \end{array}\right} & \begin{array}{r} Jisho \ Trans \end{array} \end{array} \right} \text{Result} ]

\end{document}

  • In response to this code, I began a focused search. Is it true that the dot in '\left.' (line 12) is essential to the solution? And is it also a correct assumption that lines 8-11 define an environment that is then used for the first time in line 12? Where should I look for information about this construction?

    Thanks, Ben

  • @BenEngbers - In TeX and LaTeX, a \left. ...right\} construct means "no large delimiter on the left and a large curly brace on the right". So, yes, the . is essential in all three instances of \left.. The \left. instruction on line 10 is associated with the \right\} on line -5 (i.e., the fifth from the bottom).
