Abstract

We describe a computer-assisted language learning (CALL) approach for Chinese that is based on character families. This approach exploits word and character embeddings to construct character families that highlight the phonetic regularity and semantic regularity of their member characters. We apply these families in a CALL game where players attempt to combine sub-character components to form characters within a family.
