本文对中国大陆二十年来汉语方言研究进行简要的评述。文章分四个部分:①将现代汉语方言研究七十多年的历史分为奠基期、普查期和飞跃期,从二十世纪七十年代末迄今二十年为飞跃期。②从学术机构和团体的建立,《方言》杂志的创办,学术会议的频繁举行和研究人才的培养四个方面论述近二十年汉语方言研究快速发展的情况。③通过有影响的重要著作,对二十年来汉语方言研究的内涵、特点和走势进行论述。④对二十年来汉语方言的研究发展提出看法。

The studies of Chinese dialects in the past two decades can be broken down into three periods: the founding period,the period of general investigation and the period of rapid development. This paper previews the fast growth of Chinese dialects research in the third period in terms of professional institution and journal,academic meeting,and specialist training,followed by a discussion of its contents,features and prospects,and an assessment of its development.
