A script to show the overlapping meanings of kanji, for educational purposes.
Clone this repository with Git. There’s no real need to compile the code if you also get Leiningen.
Download kanjidic2 from
EDRDG. Unzip the XML
file as kanjidic2.xml in the resources folder of this project.
Then, with $ representing your terminal prompt:
$ lein run
The following files end up in the output folder.
meaning_frequencies.csv: Tab-separated table of processed meanings and the number of times they appear in the input.word_frequencies.csv: Tab-separated table of pseudo-sememe words and the number of times they were extracted from processed meanings.spaced_repetition.csv: Tab-separated table of the 6 strongest matches in each category, and some other data suitable for use in a spaced-repetition learning application such as Anki.meaningless.txt: A space-separated list of all the kanji in the input that are not associated with any meanings. More specifically, with no meanings not tagged with a language, i.e. no English-language meanings.table.htm: A relatively complex HTML table with complete sets of matches.
To merge CSV from this application into an Anki deck, you might try applying
awk or a spreadsheet LOOKUP function to an exported deck, then re-import
it.
