本文描述在臺灣各種字資料庫研究之歷史背景。從字資料庫研究轉移至部件資料庫研究時，本文分析部件的心理學上真實性，即在心理學上有部件影響存在的事實。從字資料庫研究轉移至詞資料庫研究時，本文描述試圖找出詞單位心理學上真實性的各種研究。最後，從詞資料庫研究轉移至文句資料庫研究時，本文並描述找出文句架構的心理學上真實性的研究。

This paper describes historical contexts in which various character database studies were conducted from the 1970s in Taiwan. After presenting various character database studies, the psychological reality of sub-character units is described before introducing a sub-character database study. In the transition from character database studies to word database studies, this paper describes various attempts to find the psychological reality of word units, before introducing word database studies. Finally, in the transition from word database studies to sentence database studies, an attempt to find the psychological reality of sentence frames is described. Then, two sentence database studies are presented.
