<p>Researchers have used/cited the Academia Sinica Balanced Corpus of Modern Chinese for finding disyllabic compound words and characters with top-bottom and left-right construction. However I haven't found this information/filter on the site -- only sorting by part of speech. </p>

<p>The Traditional Chinese Psycholinguistic Database has been helpful but not comprehensive enough. </p>

<p>I'm designing materials for a research project comparing simplified readers and traditional readers, so being able to compare frequencies between characters of the two systems is important. I haven't found a research article that compared the two systems AND provided an appendix of the materials. any suggestions? </p>

<p>Various sources categorize simplification methods differently and only list some examples. Does a more comprehensive list exist? </p>

<p>where can I find a list of simplified radicals and their traditional counterparts? a list of disyllabic compound words sorted by frequency? </p>

<p>Any resources would be appreciated. </p>

Is there a database/application that sorts characters based on pronunciation, radical, frequency; and disyllabic compound words by frequency?
