A Study On The Contact Relationship Between Chinese Tang Dynasty And Adverbial

There are a lot of minorities、languages and dialects in Wuming County. Under this circumstance, it is certain that there will be some contacts between different languages and dialects, and the influence of contact is noticeable. This thesis is meant to compare the materials of Hengtanghua (belongs to Pinghua Dialect in southern Guangxi) collected from Xianhu Town in Wuming County with the Zhuang language, analyze and summarize the phenomena that the Hengtanghua has similar features like the Zhuang language in terms of pronunciations, vocabulary and grammar. Afterwards, the author studies the original resource and the possible development of these similar phenomena and the contact relevance between the Hengtanghua and the Zhuang language.We can tell, through comparison, that the features of Hengtanghua in such aspects as pronunciations, vocabulary and grammar is different from that of Mandarin while are similar with the Zhuang language. In the matter of pronunciations, some half-voiced characters appear in the high-pitched subtone group, breaking the regular pattern in Mandarin. Hengtanghua also has lateral fricative initial [1], which is closely related to the Tai-Kadai languges. Vowels in Hengtanghua have difference concerning long terminal sounds and short terminal sounds, and this kind of difference is the premise of differentiating checked tone pitch; Great similarities are shown in terms of the tone category differentiation and the correspondence between tone pitch and tone category in Hengtanghua and that in the Zhuang language. Both share same tendency in systematic changes and development.In terms of vocabulary, the pronunciations of some words in Hengtanghua is quite different from that in Mandarin, which makes it difficult to find out the corresponding pronunciation pattern. It is assumed that those pronunciations is possibly from "loanword" and "relative words" in Zhuang language and the "relative words" should have corresponding pronunciations and word meanings. In addition, the word-formation of several compound words is very much like that of Zhuang language, putting central morpheme first and then comes the additional morpheme. This kind of word-formation mainly manifests itself in nouns about animals and plants.For grammar, there are many frequently used examples in which the centre word goes first and the adverbial goes later. Besides, attached syllables, which can add rhetoric effect, often appear after verbs and adjectives of the Hengtanghua, forming the ABB pattern. These attached syllables also indicate the phenomenon of vowel understanding. What’s more, in phrases with a pattern like "numerals+quantifier+nouns", the numeral’one’can be omitted. And in "numeral+noun" pattern, numerals usually have specific grammatical meanings. A Conclusion can be drawn from the study that the occurring and development of these similar phenomena of Hengtanghua and the Zhuang language has a close relationship with the long-term and frequent contact between these two languages and their mutual influence on each other.
