我们提出的证据表明，熟练的读者对汉字的视觉分析是基于定义良好的拼写成分。这些功能单位是循环的、完整的笔画模式，而不是之前认为的个别笔画。我们进一步定义了一种拼写单位的类别，这里称之为词根，它要求每个复合字的位置有严格的规律性。违反位置规则会导致非法的非字符。相反，正字法单位(笔画模式)与词根在其规则位置上的重新组合形成了规则的伪字。我们发现，实字比假字和非字的匹配速度更快--这是汉语中的一种词优势效应。假字比非字的匹配速度更快，这是中文的一个伪字优势。我们还提出了在真实汉字中比在伪字和非汉字中更好地识别单个笔画模式的证据--就单位识别而言，这是一种词优势效应。这些结果支持了汉字识别中的功能拼写单位与字母词识别中的字母相当的假设，即汉字识别中的功能拼写单位是重复的整体笔画模式。
We present evidence that the visual analysis of Chinese characters by skilled readers is based upon well-defined orthographic constituents. These functional units are the recurrent, integral stroke-patterns, not the individual strokes as previously thought. The speed of simultaneous ''same-different'' comparisons of Chinese characters is affected by the number of these orthographic units and, for ''different'' judgements, by the proportion of mismatching units, but not by the number of individual strokes.We further define a category of orthographic unit, referred iu here as the ''lexical radical'', which requires strict positional regularity within each composite character. Violation of positional regularity results in illegal non-characters. In contrast, recombination of orthographic units (stroke patterns) with the lexical radical in its regular position forms a regular pseudocharacter. We show that real characters are matched faster than pseudocharacters and non-characters-a word superiority effect in Chinese. Pseudocharacters are matched faster than non-characters, a pseudoword advantage in Chinese. We also present evidence suggesting that individual stroke patterns may bf better recognized in real characters than in pseudocharacters and non-characters-a word superiority effect in terms of unit recognition.These results support the hypothesis that the functional orthographic unit in the recognition of Chinese characters, comparable to the letter in alphabetic word recognition, is the recurring integral stroke pattern.
