The Modal Meaning And Function Of Modal Particles In Xixian Dialec

Mood reflects the speaker’s attitude and willingness,and the elements such as intonation,words,grammatical format,modal particles,and context that appear in a sentence complement each other and work together on mood.Modality can convey the speaker’s evaluation and emotions about many objective things such as events,situations,others,and the environment,and reflect the speaker’s wishes and attitudes.The means of expressing modality in Chinese are not through morphological changes,but mainly rely on auxiliary verbs,adverbs,and modal particles.Modal particles mainly appear at the end of a sentence and are attached to the entire sentence.They are an important grammatical form for expressing the grammatical meaning of mood and modality in modern Chinese.Modal particles are highly colloquial,have an empty meaning,and are difficult to grasp.The study of the meaning and function of modal particles has always attracted the attention of many scholars.Based on the collection and collation of the corpus of Xixian dialect,this article draws on previous research results to conduct a synchronic description and analysis of the modal meaning and function of modal particles in Xixian dialect.The full text consists of six chapters,including introduction and conclusion.The first chapter is an introduction.Introduce the geographical overview,historical overview,dialect research,and phonological characteristics of Xi County.Summarize the history and current situation of modal particle research from the perspectives of Mandarin and dialect.Summarize the concepts and theories related to the study of modal particles.And explain the research methods and corpus sources of this article.The second chapter is a systematic description of modal particles in Xixian dialect.Divide the modal particles in Xixian dialect into condition modal particles（哩[li]₁,唻[l（?）]₁）Modality particles（哎[（?）]₁,□[an]₁,哦[au],呗[（?）]₁,□[pau]₁,哩[li]₂,唻[l（?）]₂,咾[lau],喽[lou],□[ma（?）]₁）Query modal particles（哎[（?）]₂,□[an]₂,啵[po],呗[（?）]₂,□[pan],□[pau]₂,哩[li]₃,□[man],□[ma（?）]₂）And the temporary modal particles（哎[（?）]₃,□[an]₃,哩[li]₄,□[ma（?）]₃）.And describe and analyze the functions of each modal particle under the category of modal mood,initially establish a continuum of message and doubt transmission of modal particles,classify the interior of modal particles whose meaning is difficult to grasp,and identify typical modal particles such as"哩[li]","□[an]",and"□[ma（?）]".The third chapter mainly examines the modal particle"哩[li]".From the perspective of grammatical distribution,this paper explains the use of"哩[li]"in the sentence and at the end of the sentence,analyzes and summarizes its modal meaning and function,and compares it with the usage of modal particles in Mandarin.The fourth chapter mainly investigates the modal particle"□[an]".From the perspective of grammatical distribution,this paper explains the use of□"[an]"in and at the end of a sentence,analyzes and summarizes its modal meaning and function,and compares it with the usage of modal particles in Mandarin.Chapter 5 is mainly about the modal particle"□[ma（?）]"Conduct an investigation.From the grammatical distribution level,face"□[ma（?）]"Explain the usage of modal words in and at the end of sentences,analyze and summarize their modal meanings and functions,and compare them with the usage of modal words in Mandarin.Chapter 6 is the conclusion.Summarize the main content of the full text,pointing out the innovation and shortcomings.
