| dc.description.abstract | Variant-form words are the same word with different written forms. When two words have the same pronunciation, meaning, and usage, but only use different characters, the two words are variant forms of the same words. The problem of variant-form words has existed for a long time and is close to public life. There are many variant-forms words in common vocabulary. Since it is difficult to pinpoint the range of common words, the author relied on the ＂Common Words Survey Report＂ , which is made by National Academy for Educational Research, to collect high-frequency variant-forms words, and then start to analyze the variant-form words.
This study is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 is the introduction, explaining the research motivation, research scope and focus, literature review, and research methods and steps of this study. Chapter 2 is a review of variant-form words, providing a comprehensive review and discussion of the origin, naming, definition, types, analysis methods and recommended results of variant-form words. Chapter 3 is the core focus of this study, analyzing groups of common variant-form words. Based on the association of common words with related variant-form words, this study clarifies the meanings of different words, analyzes whether the word form closely follows the meaning, explores the etymological sequence of variant-form words, and compares the frequency of modern words, and systematically proposes the use of variant-form words suggestion. Chapter 4 is the conclusion, summarizing the analysis results of Chapter 3, putting forward suggestions on the use of common variant-form words, and also providing reference opinions related to the ＂The Revision of Chinese Dictionary of Ministry of Education＂. | en_US |
