vocabulary entry and audit site. Newspaper reporter Zhang Rongbo "what does stepfather say in Ji'nan?" 9 days and one day, the Ji'nan dialect pronunciation expert group, located at the teacher's home, is very busy. The male pronouns of the elderly group represent Zhao Zhiping old man, and take a 1200 standard vocabulary in the Chinese language resource database (Shandong) questionnaire, one by one in the authentic Ji'nan dialect, and the members of the surrounding expert group listen to the voice. Then, according to the specific meaning of Ji'nan dialect, we will input voice.
a Shandong University professor in the expert group told a reporter that the 1200 words were determined by the national language resource database. At present, the pronunciation and meaning of the pronunciation of the people are determined by the pronunciation of the speakers. The 1200 words include 14 categories, such as astronomical geography, time orientation, plants, animals, houses, clothing, clothing, health, marriage and funeral, farming, industrial and commercial, work, nature, quantity, and Deputy conjunctions.
however, the local word "root searching" is not smooth sailing. Professor Sheng Yuqi, President of the language society of Shandong Province, said that the list of words and objects in the South was used in the vocabulary, but to the north, some things we have never used, some of the rural use, we have not used, so it is only empty. "For example," the pole ", the training of the old man said, there is a hook, and a kind of iron Baotou, so people have to discuss, in the end which one, how to read. Sheng Yuqi said, for example, the words "farmers" and "Sons" have many kinds of calls in dialects. Some are very soil and some are derogatory. For example, "farmers" can be called "farmers", "villagers", "Zhuang family sun", in the semantic entry, the meaning of the general will choose the meaning of civilization and accuracy. It is understood that Ji'nan dialect vocabulary entry is close to the end, Ludong University, Ocean University of China and other colleges and universities of linguistic experts will be completed in Ji'nan dialect of Ji'nan dialect. The local word "seeking root" selected the elderly male "speech by Mr. Zhao mainly, in order to prevent the error, we also specially invited the elderly female pronunciation teacher to assist." Expert introduction.
the reporter found that the pronunciation of the 1200 local vocabularies mainly refers to the pronunciation of the elderly male pronouns, while the elderly women and the young men and women are only the auxiliary.
to this question, Professor Sheng Yuqi, President of the Shandong language society, told reporters that the selection of old men did not exist in sex discrimination, but mainly taken into account in Chinese culture. In Ji'nan dialect, the credibility of older men is higher.
in terms of language ability, women's language ability is stronger than men, learning ability is stronger than men, so it is more likely to be influenced by external influence and change phonetic. "From the perspective of older men, it is easier for us to find the primordial nature of Ji'nan dialect." Sheng Yuqi said. The dialect "root seeking" can also protect the sovereignty of the local language in the province and even the whole country. Professor Sheng Yuqi, President of the Shandong language society, told reporters that the collection of local phonetics not only has the rescue effect of local dialect, but also has the value of demography, humanoid, geography and even language. It can safeguard the sovereignty of the state.
"language resource is also a fossil. It is a carrier of information and a carrier of culture." Professor Sheng said, for example "street", "street", this in Mandarin reading "Jie", but the dialect read "Gai", and in Yunnan, northeast, read the sound, and in Japan, South Korea, "street" also read the sound, from phonology, this is very valuable, because the voice of oral lips is very suitable for reading "g" instead of "J", a lot of similar examples, such as Putonghua "Introduction", Japanese is called "Gai Shao Yi", the Korean is "Gai Shao", so the voice of the resource is very large.
"when I came to the Ryukyu Islands in Japan in 2002, I found that people there did not say they were Japanese, but Ryukyu people. Their phonetic system was very similar to the phonetic system in Wenzhou and Zhoushan, Fujian, China. After the establishment of a scientific language voice database, there will be some disputed land in the future, and we can find the linguistic evidence in the territorial ownership through the characteristics of the locals. " Professor Sheng said.
