Ma Yu’s poems are easy to understand and spoken words are very rich,which has important lexicological significance.In this thesis,eight hundred and eighty-two verses and five hundred and thirty-one poems are taken as the research scope,and the colloquial words are sorted out,counted and studied,aiming at exploring the characteristics of colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems,enriching the study of Chinese vocabulary history,at the same time,providing some references for the revision of the Chinese Dictionary.Through an exhaustive study of Ma’s poems,we have collected two hundred and sixty-seven colloquial words.Among them,there are fewer colloquial words and more common words.This thesis is divided into five chapters.The first chapter introduces Ma Yu,the poems of Ma Yu,and the colloquial words.It mainly includes the life of Ma Yu,the material source of his poetry,the definition and research status of colloquial words,as well as the research value and research methods of this thesis.The second chapter classifies classifies and inspects the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems.It describes and analyses them objectively and systematically from the perspectives of syllable and semantics,in order to clarify the basic features of the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems.From the syllable structure,the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems can be divided into three categories: monosyllabic words,two-syllable words,and multi-syllable words.From the semantic categories,the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems can be divided into five categories: appellations,nouns,actions,properties and states and the other.The third chapter mainly studies the neologism of the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems.Referring to the previous literature and the first citation of entries in the Chinese Dictionary,this thesis sorts out the new colloquial words produced in Mayu’s poems during the Song and Jin Dynasties and the new colloquial meanings produced in the Song and Jin Dynasties,and cites examples of similar times to prove it.In addition,through the lexical analysis of the new colloquial words produced in Song and Jin Dynasties and finds out that the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems mainly adopt the lexical and syntactic ways to construct new words.Among them,the combination and partial formality are the most important ways to construct new words.The fourth chapter mainly discusses the diachronic development of colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poetry.The colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems have developed into the modern Chinese period,some of them have been used up to now,some have disappeared,and some of them have changed their meanings.Most of the colloquial words used up to now are still used in modern Chinese Mandarin,and a few of them are only retained in modern Chinese dialects,while the extinct colloquial words can be roughly divided into two situations: the complete disappearance of word form and meaning,and the disappearance of original word form and meaning.And the common words whose meanings have changed can be roughly divided into four categories: the increase,decrease,expansion and reduction of sememe.The fifth chapter mainly discusses the lexicographic value of colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems.We find that the Chinese Dictionary rarely cites the Jin Dynasty literature as the first example of the entries.The reason may be that the Jin Dynasty was in power for a short time and the literature was relatively few.At the same time,the Jin Dynasty literature has not attracted enough attention from the academic circles,which may also be one of the reasons.Therefore,the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems have important value in supplement of collecting words,senses and the advanced documentary evidence for Chinese Dictionary.In conclusion part,we summarize the problems discussed in the five chapters of this paper.The study of the colloquial words in Ma Yu’s poems can not only help to better understand the meanings and connotation of Ma’s poems,but also trace the origin of modern Chinese and its dialects,it also provides some references for the compilation of dictionaries and the study of the Chinese vocabulary history. |
