汉字部件的定义

The Definition of Part of Chinese Characters

部件是分析汉字外部结构的非常重要的概念。汉字部件的定义,历来存有分歧。在国家语委《汉字部件规范》发布之后,学者认识已渐趋统一。但目前相关教材中,关于汉字部件的定义依然存在不一致的说法.其中有些似是而非的表述,应予纠正。部件与偏旁绝非同义词,不可混为一谈。规范包括部件在内的汉字学名词术语及其定义,才能有利于现代汉字学的发展。

Part of Chinese characters is a very important concept in analyzing external structures of Chinese characters. There are different views about the definition of part of Chinese characters all along. Scholars achieve unity of opinion on this problem after the Committee of China's National Language publishes the standard of part of Chinese characters. But in some teaching materials, there are not identical views on the definition of part of Chinese characters still; there are some specious statements among them, and they must be corrected. Part and radical of Chinese characters are not synonyms absolutely, which can not be lumped together. To standardize the terminology and definition of Chinese characters including part of Chinese characters will be beneficial to develop the science of modern Chinese characters.
