Studies On The�Tuanjie Words�of Butuo County In Sichuan Province

In the process of the Yi people in Butuo county of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture Sichuan province learning Chinese, influenced by mother tongue internal effect, original language habit restriction and mandarin, there will be some inescapable errors, then it turns to interlanguage. Interlanguage is a kind of language variant between mother tongue and target language. It is also a particular dynamic language system that gradually transits to the target language when learning these two languages. This paper's study object, Butuo county �Tuanjie words', is a particular target language of second language learner. This special language system is neither the same to Yi language mother tongue, nor to the target language-Chinese dialects in Butuo on the pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar rules and communication, but a language system between them. During the second language learning process of Butuo Yi youth through some certain learning strategies, it's a dynamic language system which is neither the same to first language nor to the target language on the basis of target language input, and gradually transiting to target language with learning progress.In this paper, we take the youth stage of Butuo "Tuanjie Words" as the example. We obtain the firsthand information through fieldwork. Then we have a systematic over this special dynamic language system through comparative studies, experimental phonetics and related research methods. We make the feature descriptions on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar rules through comparing Butuo �Tuanjie words' language system, target language-Chinese dialects language system and Yi language mother tongue. After describing and analyzing we find out that Butuo youth �Tuanjie words' has something in common with Butuo Chinese dialect and mandarin, but not totally the same. So we think Butuo "Tuanjie Words" is not a simple imitation of the local Chinese dialect or mandarin, but a special language system influenced by Yi language mother tongue and local strong language-Chinese dialect and gradually transiting to target language-Chinese dialect.We also forecast the developing trend of Butuo �Tuanjie words' reasonably through researching, describing and analyzing its current situation: Butuo "Tuanjie Words" is gradually transiting to target language-Chinese dialect, and influenced by Yi language mother tongue and mandarin continuously with multi-leveled and complicated language phenomenon.
