Comparative Study Of Chinese Myanmar “Onomatopoeia”

Onomatopoeia is often used in our daily life. It is common to vividly express the theme of literary works. Words formed by mimic sounds are called “Onomatopoeia” which is the world’s most languages have. Because of different ethnicities, lifestyle, environment and regions, each nation’s perception of sound is also different. Thus, onomatopoeia words have both similarities and differences among various ethnic groups.Both Chinese and Myanmar have the habit of using onomatopoeia to modify their own languages. The use of onomatopoeia may appear in whether writing or speaking and it can make the expression meaningful. It can give students learning Chinese in Myanmar and students learning Myanmar in C hina a lot of difficulties and obstacles because of the different culture, ethnic and different mimic sounds. O nly comparative study of Chinese Myanmar “Onomatopoeia” can bring the successful progress of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. This paper is a comparative research of onomatopoeia between Chinese and Myanmar.This paper contains introduction part, brief purpose and meaning, the definition of onomatopoetic word,China and Myanmar’s current research on onomatopoetic words,research methods and the scope of this paper and the main source of corpus.The first chapter explains the contrast of Chinese Myanmar “Onomatopoeia” syllable structure.
