数据库环境下的《同源字典》研究

Study on Tongyuan Zidian with Database Method

《同源字典》作为王力晚年力作,在汉语语源学史上具有划时代的重大意义。由于《同源字典》本身具有错综复杂的特性,只有依托计算机信息处理技术才能有效开展计量分析。基于MS Access 2019数据库运行平台,建立起《同源字典》全文数据库,不仅有助于穷尽客观地梳理《同源字典》本身诸方面的体例特征,多角度、综合性地考察所收汉语同源词的分布情况及其内部的系联规律,从而科学、客观地认识《同源字典》一书的成就与不足,亦能为后来的同类型旧有辞书数字化提供新的参考范例。

As Wang Li’s masterpiece in his later years,Tongyuan Zidianis of epoch-making significance in the history of Chinese etymology. Due to the complexity of the text inTongyuan Zidian,quantitative analysis can only be carried out effectively relying on computer information processing. Based on MS Access 2019 platform, the establishment of a full-text database not only helpsus to sort out those features,but also examines the distribution of cognate words in Chinese and their internal linking rules from multiple perspectives. In that case,all achievements or deficiencis of this book will be judged more objectively. Anyway,it will offer a newreference model to the later digitizing workon the samekind of dictionaries.
