The Survey On The Vocabulary Of Sichuan Xichong Dialect And Comparative Study Of Lexical Features In Xichong,Chengdu And Luzhou

In recent years,significant achievements have been made in the survey of Sichuan Dialects.Since the publication of the Sichuan Dialect Investigation Report in the 1980s,the mystery of Chinese dialects in Sichuan has been gradually lifted.However,the distribution of Chinese dialects research in counties and cities is unbalanced.The dialect research of Xichong(西充)County under Nanchong(南充)City is concerned,its research mainly focuses on phonetics and grammar.There are few papers or monographs on vocabulary,and the vocabulary of Xichong dialect still has features to be revealed.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct a special investigation and survey on Xichong dialect vocabulary.In this paper,we use the theories and methods of dialectology and Chinese lexicography to collect and organize the common vocabulary of Xichong dialect through field surveys,take the vocabulary of Xichong dialect as the object of study,organize the phonological characteristics of the dialect,and analyze the phonological change and morphological features of Xichong dialect.At the same time,a cross-sectional comparison is made between the Xichong dialect and the Chengdu(成都)and Luzhou(泸州)dialects to explore the similarities and differences in vocabulary,phonological change and word formation between the Xichong dialect and these two dialects,in order to find out the similarities and differences between the Xichong dialect and the Huguang dialect(湖广话)(represented by Chengdu dialect(成都方言))and the Nanlu dialect(南路话)(represented by Luzhou dialect(泸州方言)).This paper is divided into six main sections.The first part is the introduction,which introduces the current research status of Xichong dialect,the overview of Xichong dialect survey sites(geographical location,history,transportation and population,etc.),the field survey of this paper,as well as the corpus and research methods used.The second part summarizes the phonological system of Xichong dialect and briefly depicts the vocal-hypo phonetic system,which is the basis and prerequisite for the study of the dialect vocabulary.From the phonological system,it can be seen that Xichong dialect is different from the surrounding dialects and is a dialect island left in northeastern Sichuan by Nanlu dialect.The study of Xichong dialect vocabulary not only highlights the unique linguistic status of Xichong dialect,but also supplements the gaps in the study of Nanlu dialect vocabulary.Part Ⅲ to Part Ⅴ are the focus of this paper.The third part deals with the phonological variation of the Xichong dialect vocabulary,starting with a brief introduction to the possible variation of rhyme in the flow of Xichong dialect polysyllabic words.Secondly,we summarized the form of polysyllabic r-colored vowel and the modified tuning rules,and the tuning rules of monosyllabic r-colored vowel.In other words,the Xichong dialect vocabulary is not curl,and the modulation is mainly based on the latter word,and whether the front and back words are of the same tonal type will also affect the modulation.Finally,the law of overlapping prosody of two-syllable words is summarized.The fourth part compares the phonetic similarities and differences between the vocabulary of Xichong dialect and the vocabulary of Chengdu and Luzhou dialects.Firstly,the phonological similarities and differences between the three dialects are compared,and it is concluded that the Xichong and Luzhou dialects are phonologically closer to each other.Secondly,the different ways of saying common nouns and verbs in the three places are compared;Thirdly,the phonological patterns of the three dialect words are compared.The fifth part compares the similarities and differences of the three dialectal vocabularies in terms of morphological features(mainly zi suffix and er suffix).The sixth part is the conclusion.
