A Study On The Adverbs Of Degree In YiShui Dialect

The paper takes“the degree adverbs”of ShanDong YiShui dialect as the object ofthe grammatical research. The degree adverbs compose of the maximal, high and lowmagnitude degree adverbs. The paper makes a study of the degree adverbs systems ofYiShui dialect, then studies the different magnitude of degree adverbs in semantics,pragmatics and grammar. In addition, the paper makes a comparative analysisbetween some degree adverbs of YiShui dialect and that of mandarin. Finally, thepaper makes a conclusion of the feature of degree adverbs of YiShui dialect.This paper is divided into four chapters.The preface introduces the contents and methods of the research, distribution andpartners, as well as the sources of corpus and style.The first chapter mainly introduces the overall situation about YiShui dialect andoverview of research. The first section mainly introduces the overview of YiShui,which includes the humane geography and historical evolution. The second sectionmainly describes the phonetic system of YiShui dialect. The third section mainlyintroduces the current situation of YiShui dialect. The fourth section mainlyintroduces the study of current situation about “the degree adverbs”, which composesof the current situation about “the degree adverbs” in mandarin, the current study ofthe degree adverbs of ShanDong dialect, and the systematically introduction of thedegree adverbs of YiShui dialect.The second chapter mainly studies synchronically on the high magnitude degreeadverbs of YiShui dialect. The first section is firstly on the overall situation anddivision about the high magnitude degree adverbs of YiShui dialect, which composesof the degree adverbs of free high magnitude and constrained high magnitude. Thesecond section focuses on studying the degree adverbs of free high magnitudeof“Gang（刚）、GangZhe（刚着）、GangDe（刚的）”and comparing it with“Hen（很）” in detail, finding that“Gang（刚）、GangZhe（刚着）、GangDe（刚的）”,with strong subjectivity, has a part of character of“Hen（很）”. And then, we studycharacter of“Gua（i怪)” and compare it with “Gua（i怪）”in mandarin, finding that theYiShui dialect uses the structure of “Guai Shouleng(怪手冷）”. The third sectionmainly studies on the constrained degree adverbs of “Jing（精）、Da（大）” in detail.Added with a single syllable adjective and reduplication of disyllabic adjective behind,“Jing(精）、Da(大）” would have different expressions, and the latter is deeper.“Jing（精）”is used to modify the adjective with small quantity, but“Da(大）” is modifiedthe adjective with large quantity. In the end, we overview and example someconstrained degree adverbs, such as“Qiao（乔）、Jiao（焦）”. The third chapter is mainly on the synchronically study about the the maximaland low magnitude degree adverbs of YiShui dialect. The first section firstly studieson the overall situation about the maximal magnitude degree adverbs of YiShuidialect, and then talks about the semantics, pragmatics and grammar of the maximaldegree adverbs of“Zhang（张）” and“Zu（祖）”, then compares“Zhang（张）”with“Tai（太）”, and compares “Zu（祖）” with “Zui（最）”, finding that “Zhang（张）”and “Zu（祖）”only respectively have a portion of feature of “Tai（太）”and“Zu（i最）”. In addition, we find that the semantic scope of “Zu（祖）”is small and fixed,using as the negative color word, but with strong subjectivity. Finally, we study themaximal degree adverb of “Jin（尽）”. The second section firstly studies on thelow-level degree adverbs of“JinZi（仅子）”、“DuoShuo（多说）”, and compares themwith the“ShaoWei（稍微）”in mandarin, finding that the subjectivity of “JinZi（仅子）”、“DuoShuo（多说）”are stronger than“ShaoWei（稍微）”.The fourth chapter mainly characterizes the degree adverbs of YiShui dialect.YiShui dialect is characterized with asymmetry in number, symmetry in formality,telling easily, strong selectivity of head words and the high sequentiality ofmagnitude.
