Features: "The Report on the State of Chinese Language Life (2005)" is the first annual report on the state of language life released to the public by the National Language Commission, and it is also a part of the "Green Book of Chinese Language Life" by the National Language Commission. This book is the lower volume, with the main content being statistical data on the language usage in several media in 2005 by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center. The selection, proofreading, and database construction of the corpus are academically strong and highly demanding in terms of engineering. Scientific tagging and precise statistical analysis of language and characters are research topics that have not been well resolved domestically and internationally. Additionally, there is a lack of basic experience in analyzing data obtained from massive corpus databases. However, they overcame difficulties and worked diligently, uncovering many interesting findings in terms of character usage, word choice, punctuation, and symbols. This book is divided into two volumes, with this being the lower volume, which presents statistical data on the language usage in several media in 2005 by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center.
