Abstract
An investigation was carried out to determine whether Chinese text material conforms to Zipf´s law. The information reservoir for this particular investigation contains 2,022,604 Chinese ideograms. It is shown that single Chinese characters do not conform to Zipf´s law; however compound words are found to conform well. In addition, examining the regression analysis for compound words implies a good degree of conformity
