独体汉字的字形相似性研究

本文以速示呈现方式获得了一系列独体汉字和字符的混淆矩阵。用Luce（1963）的选择模型特混淆矩阵分解为对称的相似矩阵和反应倾向矢量。基于相似矩阵，以聚类分析和多维量表法探索了汉字和字符的视觉特征及其表征形式，为揭示汉字视觉特征的几何特性和潜在结构，在研究方法上作了有意义的偿试、此外，本研究的结果支持了作者（1995）关于在含“十”或“口”的独体汉字中，“十”与“口”是该类汉字的突出视觉特征的结论。

A STUDY OF THE SIMILARITY OF SINGLE-COMPONENT CHINSES CHARACTERS

In order to explore the similarity of single-component Chinese characters, a confusion matrix of 10Chinese characters and 3 symbols, based on 600 presentations of each stimulus was estabilshed in the present study. According to Luce's choice model,the confusion matrix was decomposed into a symmetrical similarity matrix and a response bias vector because the asymrnetric confusion between several couples of stimulus models in the confusion matrix were observedThe geometric features of representation of Chinese characters and the underlying structure of the similarity matrix were assessed with both a hierarchical clustering and a multidimensional scaling procedure. The result suggested that both" " and n seemed to be common features extracted from Chinese characters used in the present study.
