漢字難度分析暨回饋系統之建置與發展

The Design and Development of a System for Chinese Character Difficulty and Features

漢字特徵分析（如：部件頻次、功能及結構組合等）在字本位教學中具有關鍵作用，但目前缺少部件結合難度的文本分析系統，本研究根據中文部件組字與形構資料庫以及學習者難度分級，建置漢字特徵與難度分析系統，功能包含：分析文本的漢字難度、提供文本漢字部件解構以及文本部件衍生字資訊，給予使用者深入且直觀的文本分析結果。本系統之預期效益能在教學面裨益教學者編排識字教材與出題，在研究面應用漢字特徵於中文自然語言處理之任務。

Feature analysis of Chinese characters plays a prominent role in ''character-based'' education. However, there is an urgent need for a text analysis system for processing the difficulty of composing components for characters, primarily based on Chinese learners' performance. To meet this need, the purpose of this research was to provide such a system by adapting a data-driven approach. Based on Chen et al.'s (2011) Chinese Orthography Database, this research has designed and developed an system: Character Difficulty – Research on Multi-features (CD-ROM). This system provides three functions: (1) analyzing a text and providing its difficulty regarding Chinese characters; (2) decomposing characters into components and calculating the frequency of components based on the analyzed text; and (3) affording component-deriving characters based on the analyzed text and downloadable images as teaching materials. With these functions highlighting multi-level features of characters, this system has the potential to benefit the fields of Chinese character instruction, Chinese orthographic learning, and Chinese natural language processing.
