所謂「異體字」，指兩個或兩個以上之文字，彼此讀音與意義完全相同，而僅形體有異，此諸文字乃互為異體字。本文探討唐代楷書異體字之類型，除前言與結論外，尚有四大段落，各舉實例，分別說明唐代楷書異體字之四種類型，包括――一、由於筆畫訛變而造成之異體字。二、由於避諱而造成之異體字。三、由於武則天改製而造成之異體字。四、由於字形淵源不同而造成之異體字。 The so-called “variant words” are two or more words which have exactly the same pronunciation and meaning yet different written forms. They are variants for each other or one another. This study explores categories of variant words in Tang dynasty Kaishu, the standard script. Besides preface and conclusion, there are four chapters specifically exemplifying four categories of variant words in Tang dynasty kaishu, including 1. Variants resulting from corruption, 2.
