    <Paragraph position="0"> In conclusion, the goal of this research is set to survey the unique characteristics of Chinese Ideographs.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Though it has been well understood and agreed upon in cognitive linguistics that concepts can be represented in many ways, using various constructionsatdifferentsyntacticallevels, conceptualrepresentation at the script level has been unfortunately both undervalued and under-represented in computational linguistics. Therefore, the Hanzi-driven conceptual approach in this thesis might require that we consider the Chinese writing system from a perspective that is not normally found in canonical treatments of writing systems in contemporary linguistics.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Against the deep-seated tradition in contemporary Chinese linguistics, which views the use of Chinese characters in scientific theories as a manifestation of mathematical immaturity and interpretational subjectivity, we propose the first lexical knowledge resource based on Chinese characters in the field of linguistic as well as in the NLP.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> It is noted that HanziNet, as a general knowledge resource, should not claim to be a sufficient knowledge resource in and of itself, but instead seek to provide a groundwork for the incremental integration of other knowledge resources for language processing tasks. In order to augment HanziNet, additional information will needed to be incorporated and mapped into HanziNet. This leads us to several avenues of future research.</Paragraph>
