The Research Of Zhumadian Dialect Interrogative Sentences

First of all, this thesis establishes dialect interrogative system including yes-no questions, alternative questions, special questions and repeated questions, through investigating the interrogative form and semantic differences exist in Zhumadian dialects, and then compares the differences of the complex interrogative sentences in different area of Henan Province. This thesis make a comparative regional analysis with the help of repeated questions format, to explore this question repeatedly asked subcategories within Henan the presentation of the regional characteristics.In Henan Province, the form and semantic of repeated questions presents certain law in the north and south longitudinal and transverse from west to east, that is in the middle of the northern regions, "VP + Negative Word" is the main type, and then the people select two different negative words "no" and "mou" according to two different semantic meaning. While in the middle of Henan Province "VP + negative word" and "VP + negative word + VP" coexist with each other, and both of them appear within the format of negative words "no" and "mou" complementarily; in the south of Henan Province the "VP + negative word" as the main type, but the negative word is "no",meaning there is no separation on the table, and the weakening of "no", and there is no semantic distinction, and the pronunciation has been weakened, so that it turns into a pure tone word "bai."It is because the negative words of repeated questions distinct each other in northern and the middle part of Henan, that it does not have enough conditions to virtualize, so in these places people will use repeated questions to express inquiry without using "right". Comparing with other Chinese dialect area interrogative system,we can see that if there is a pure dialect word to express inquiry in some area, the people there will first add a mood word to express inquiry rather than use repeated questions.
