Comparative Study Of The Pronunciation Of Chinese Characters Used In Sino-Korean, Standard Chinese Language And Hakka Dialect

Communication between China and South Korea has been well-established for a long history. Long time ago, South Korea began to borrow Chinese character s to record its language. Since the borrowing, Chinese began to spread over K orea. Although South Korea character comes from the ancient pronunciation, it becomes less influenced by changes of pronunciation of Chinese character sin ce it formed its own system in the tenth century. Meantime, under the restric tion of intrinsic intonation of South Korean, it has walked along one way of its own. Since Hakka migrated from north to south, Hakka, as one dialect in eight in china, has become one of the south dialects; meanwhile, under the ide a of "would rather sell ancestor's land than betray their ancestor", Hakka is influenced less by Chinese pronunciation. Thus, like South Korean characte r, Hakka keeps much of characteristics of Chinese intonation. And Putonghua, as modern Chinese language, constructs on the base of northern dialects. Comp ared to "Guangrun" that reflects Zhonggu intonation system, "Zhongyuan Yinru n",which reflects northern dialects system, has taken on great changes. No m atter it is Chinese or south Korean in the research of the ancient intonation of language, history of pronunciation and its development,every Chinese dia lects and translation of non-domains have great value of reference. So, we fo cus on the research of Putonghua, Hakka dialects and South Korean character, and they have great academic value.This paper bases on the material of 3000 characters from the book of " Ha nyu Fangyin Zihui" written by the teaching research room of Linguistics of Ch inese Language Literature in Beijing University. With the method of whole ana lyzing of Putonghua, Hakka dialects and South Korean character's pronunciatio n, we make a comparison among their initials and vowels. The former, centeri ng on the ancient initials system, compares among Putonghua, Hakka initials a nd Korean character's pronunciation, and compares among Putonghua, Hakka lan guage and Korean character's pronunciation, and probes their relevant relat ionship and corresponding law through the analysis of contrast. The latter, a t first, makes research on the meantime comparison of three languages'vowels, and examine respectively the corresponding relationship to others from the p erspective of character's intonation of Hakka and South Korean, and then cent ers on the Zhonggu vowels'system, makes comparison among the three language, and probes their relationship and law through analyzing.
