Abstract
In the study of Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) composition, there is a lack of research on the quantitative form of wrongly written or mispronounced character (WWMC). This paper chooses the readability perspective to quantitatively study the influence of WWMCs in HSK compositions. Through the construction of HSK composition readability corpus, they are composed of 5498 HSK compositions carefully rated by experts. Through quantitative research, it is found that the lower the grade is, the more the number of compositions without WWMCs; With the increase of text readability, the proportion of WWMCs in the text decreases gradually, while the number of articles with WWMCs increases. With the help of the formula of HSK composition readability grade constructed by multiple linear regression, it is found that the WWMC's weight is -0.0250014, which has little effect on the readability grade of HSK composition. Although the WWMC feature does not play an important role in the readability formula, we can't ignore it in the reading and writing process of HSK compositions.
