Wanrong Dialect Syntax Research

The thesis is intended to make a more systematic study of the grammar on Wanrong dialect, which is distributed in the southwest of Shanxi Province. It consists of six chapters of about 160,000 words. Actually, the thesis is mainly included in some more particular features of Wanrong in morphyological changes, word-buiding, some notional word, some function word and the category of aspect and mood. We chiefly discussed the reduplicated forms of nouns, verbs, adjectives, numbers, quantitative words and adverbs, the "Ge" prefix words, the "Dou" suffix words and the "Er" suffix words, position nouns and time nouns, the comined-syllable words, the divided-syllable words and the inverted-order words, the comparison sentence and preposition ect. It sketches the contents of the particular grammatical features of Wanrong. The aim to write the thesis is to have a diachromic comparison on the grammatical phenomena of Wanrong dialect with those in Chinese historical materials, and a synchronic comparison with Putonghua (that is to say, Mandarin) and some other relating dialects, such as Jin dialect (eg, Datong dialect, Taiyuan dialect, Pingyao dialect and Linxian dialect ect.), Zhongyuan Mandarin (eg, Xian dialect, Luoyang dialect and Xuzhou dialect ect). It tends to obscure the need to draw the common features and different features by comparison,in order to provide the valuable grammarical materrials and basis for the study of Chinese grammar.
