A Study On Suixian Dialect Vocabulary And Its Attribution

This thesis takes Suixian dialect vocabulary as the research object.Based on the Chinese dialect vocabulary survey entry list(2003)and other Suixian dialect data,the Suixian dialect vocabulary is sorted out.With the vocabulary as the basis and the vocabulary theory as the guidance,this thesis studies the word-formation,word-creation,semantics and archaic words of Suixian dialect vocabulary.In addition,although the atlas of Chinese language(2012)classifies Suixian dialect into Huguang dialect and Northern Hubei dialect of Southwest Mandarin according to the standard of "ancient Ru Sheng characters now return to Yangping" from the perspective of phonetics,there has always been controversy on the attribution of the Northern Hubei dialect and its internal dialect,because it is located at the junction of Southwest Mandarin and Central Plains Mandarin.From the perspective of lexical,this thesis uses the "morpheme weighting method" to calculate the correlation coefficient between Suixian dialect and related dialects,intuitively shows the intimate relationship between dialects,makes clear the attribution of Suixian dialect,and also provides some enlightenment for the attribution of Northern Hubei dialect.This thesis is divided into six parts.The introduction part mainly introduces the geography,humanities and dialects of Suixian area,as well as the research basis,purpose,significance and investigation steps of this selected topic.The first chapter comprehensively describes the word formation of Suixian dialect.Compared with Mandarin,the word formation characteristics of Suixian dialect are mainly reflected in the additional word formation.There are many dialect-specific affixes such as "ri","ba","li","basha","bao",and "huoli".The second chapter mainly introduces the three word-creation methods of Suixian dialect:sound change method,explanation method and rhetoric method.The difference in word-creation methods is an important reason for the formation of "homonymous" and "synonymous" words between dialects and Mandarin.The third chapter is centered on sememe,adopting the theory of sememe structure of lexical semantics,to carry out micro-level research on the "homonymous sememe" and "corresponding sememe" between Suixian dialect and Mandarin and other dialects.In-depth comparisons are made in the two aspects of semantic value and semantic domain.The fourth chapter lists some archaic words in suixian dialect vocabulary system and divides them into five historical levels: Pre Qin and Han Dynasties,Wei and Jin Dynasties,southern and Northern Dynasties,Sui and Tang Dynasties,Song Dynasty,Yuan Dynasty,Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.It is found that the syllable changes of archaic words in suixian dialect are consistent with the polysyllabic changes of Chinese words;In terms of word meaning,the longer the duration,the higher the "variation rate" of word meaning.The fifth chapter calculates the correlation coefficient between suixian dialect and Wuhan dialect,Xinyang dialect and Zhengzhou dialect from the perspective of lexicometry.The results show that the correlation coefficient between suixian dialect and Wuhan dialect(southwest mandarin)and Xinyang dialect(Zhongyuan Mandarin)is almost the same,From the perspective of vocabulary,suixian dialect belongs to the transition zone between Zhongyuan Mandarin and southwest mandarin.
