【摘要】 <正> 要研究汉语的讯息结构,必须分析它的基本单位——汉字的形体与统计结构。汉字是由笔画组成的。按照传统的说法,一画是笔在紙上所做的连续的运动;笔离开紙后再接触紙重行运动便属于另一画。以这个定义为标准,从宋体与正楷的大体形态而论,繁体字的笔画可分为22种(表1中第1至13与15至23等22种),简体字的除此以外,又增加4种(表1中的第14、24、25、26四种)。更多还原

【Abstract】 The strokes of Chinese ideograms classified into 26 types in terms of shape and their relative frequencies on newspaper materials were counted. The most frequent stroke-type (horizontal stroke) occurred 31% of the time, and the four most frequent stroke-types totaled 63%. The ratio of the occurrences of the most and least frequent stroke-types is 200 to 1. It is noted that the probabilities of the occurrences of the various stroke-types are more unequal than those of the English letters.更多还原
