漢字情報データベース(KID)のデザインの問題点 : 構造について

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Kanji are said by some to be "patterns" (zukei), but even a graphics-based approach such as Rowley (1992) to learning kanji makes use of structural analysis, which is widely used in the learning of kanji in various ways. However, the kind of structural analysis used in dictionaries has been designed for ease of search, and does not always reflect the structure of a kanji from the point of view of learning it. In teaching and learning kanji, structure has been used in a variety of ways, ranging from "graphemes" to mnemonics based on relating structural elements into a meaningful order. Comparatively little use has been made, however, of the phoneticity of kanji. Here, it is proposed to do away with traditional "radicals" and use a meaning-specifying element (DET) only for meaning+sound type kanji, defining it as the part remaining when having taken account of the sound element, and employ a number of separate structural patterns for meaning+sound type kanji and meaning+meaning type kanji for use in the Kanji Information Database (KID) currently being developed.
