从字频看壮族传统文字的效用特点——以方块壮字和汉字的字频比较为基点

On the Efficiency of Traditional Zhuang Language from Written Character Frequency——Based on Frequency Comparison between Written Zhuang Language and Chinese Character

研究表明,在"省力原则"的作用下,方块壮字存在与汉字类似的"效用递减"趋势,少数字符的效用高,多数字符的效用低。但是,与汉字相比,由于字形规范化和语料规模的制约,方块壮字"效用递减"的趋势没有那么明显,高频字不够"高效",效用也不够集中。

Research show s that ,under the influence of the“principle of least effort” ,there is a di‐minishing trend in the utility of character frequency ,with the utility of a few characters in high fre‐quency ,but with most characters in low efficiency .However ,because of the standard of typeface and corpus size ,the diminishing trend is not so obvious compared with Chinese character ,and high‐fre‐quency words are not efficient enough and the utility is not concentrated enough .
