广东客家方言词语的文化内涵

The Historical and Cultural Connotation in words of Guangdong Hakka Dialect

语言是文化信息的重要载体,历史的文化现象只存在于某一历史阶段,语言的相对稳定性与传承性往往使某些逝去的历史文化信息保留在相应的词语(或文字)中,方言词语尤其如此。广东是客家民系的大本营,客家民系拥有悠久的历史与饶有特色的民俗民风。随着社会与经济的发展,很多历史文化现象今已不复存在,但客家方言中的某些词语今天仍能作为特定历史时期客家民俗民风的可靠见证,这无疑是语言地域文化研究的一条新路。文章拟用具体例证对广东客家方言词语中的历史文化沉淀作概括的阐释。
