语言接触视角下方言研究的新思路--评《汉语方言接触视角下的四川客家方言研究》

摘要

汉语方言研究多以单点方言调查为主，在此基础上，把处于不同地域的同一方言进行对比，除了可发现其差异性之外，更重要的是要发现产生差异的过程及原因。不同方言（语言）接触而相互影响是众所周知的事实，而探求其相互影响的语言内部和外部因素及规律，则有深远的理论意义。《汉语方言接触视角下的四川客家方言研究》一书在这方面作了非常有意义的尝试，可视为汉语方言研究的一条新路子。%Chinese dialect research mainly focuses on an individual dialect in a speciifc geographic region, which means investigating a same dialect in different geographic regions may not only reveal the differentiation, but more importantly, the underlying causes for and the formation of the differentiation. It is a well-known fact that the contactsbetween different languages (dialects) will result in their inter-inlfuence.The research on the internal and external factors of the inter-inlfuence of different languages (dialects) and the patterns of mutual inlfuences between languages (dialects) carries a far-reaching signiifcance from the theoretical perspective. The book A Research on the Sichuan Hakka Dialects: a Language Contact Perspective has done a very meaningful experiment in this ifeld of research,which has suggested a new direction for studying the Chinese dialects. This article is to discuss the signiifcance of this type of research with the example of the book.
