A Study On The Phonetic Statistics Of Disyllabic Words In Chinese Dialects

This paper concentrates on studying three dialect points:Xi’an dialect, Guangzhou dialect and Nanjing dialect, which is based on northern dialect,southern dialect, Jianghuai mandarin dialect. The research object is the syllables in the bisyllables of the above three dialects in the Modern Chinese Dialect Dictionary by Li rong. This paper statistics, analysis and contrasts the balance, position, capacity of syllables in the bisyllables within the righteous class from the quantities,coverage etc..The coverage of syllables in the bisyllables is above 93% in Nanjing,Xi’an,Guangzhou dialects.It covers all the syllable,which can provide important refenrence for vocabulary corpus when designing table complies in dialect investi gation in future. Futhermore, in the coaverage of three dielects,Xi’an is the highest,Nanjing is the middle, Guangzhou is the lowest,but the syllable quantities is the contrast.The syllables in the bisyllables of this three kind dialects appear to unbalancedness in quantities attribution of thirty classification, the unbalancedness of Guangzhou is the most obvious, the unbalancedness of Xi’an and Nanjing is almost similar. In the advantage claasification, the adjective diasyllable quantities of Nanjing and Guangzhou is the largest, the act diasyllable of Xi’an is the most abundant. The daily life classification has bigger proportion in the three kind dialects,but the position quantifier,additional classification in the three kind dialects has low proportion.The most syllables in the bisyllables of the three kind dialects are free syllable, which can appear in the both before and after word location,but gelling syllables are little. The syllables in the bisyllables of the three kind dialect points tend to be different in appreaing location:Nanjing tends to the former, Xi’an and Guangzhou tends to be similar in the before and after word location. The number of Xi’an syllables which appears in the before word location is slightly larger than the after word location, the number of Guangzhou syllables which appears in the before word location is slightly smaller than the after word location. As to gelling syllables, the before gelling syallables of Nanjing and X’ian are in advantage,but Guangzhou after gelling syllables are in advantageIn syallbles of the high and low frequency bisyallbles, the low frequency syllables quantities of three kind dialects is larger than hign frequency syllables in all kinds classification,which shows a signigicant imbalance. This paper also statistic analysis syllable load of this three knid dialects, the number of low load syllables in Guangzhou is far larger than that in Nanjing and Xi’an. As to the number of high load syllables, the three kind dialects approach to be very little.Taking the two categories: ’equipment supplies’ ’adjiective’as example,this paper explores the relationship between sound and meaning corresponding in two-tone dialect words of Nanjing,X’ian and Guangzhou.In all three dialect points,the initials of’equipment supplies’ category were concentrated in th, t,k.As for the initials of ’adjiective’ category, Nanjing, Xi’an were concentrated in 1, x, Guangzhou focus on k,1.A11 the three dialect points of these two categories in the sound and meaning corresponding show a certain degree of inclination.
