方言地图符号设计

Analysis of Symbol Design in Dialect Map

用地图表示方言分布已经有较长的使用历史。近年来地理语言学出现了采用计算机设计方言地图的新技术。这种技术利用数据库和绘图软件进行地图自动绘制,采用二维符号在地图上反映方言特征。符号设计作为其中的一个重要环节,需要在地图绘制中得到进一步研究。此设计主要从方言地图显示与阅读的特点出发,在地图视觉感受理论、符号学理论的指导下,以广东方言地图集的"干净"词汇图为例,进行系统探索。

The dialect distribution map uses two-d^menstonat syznrJu~ b Now, the dialect map can be drawn automatically by software when database is available. Symbol design as an important step of map drawing needs to be further studied. Based on dialect map displaying and features of reading, from the perspectives of visual sense theory and semiotics theory, the present study is intended to find distribution regulation and composition of dialect map, and to explore symbol editing through geographic ArcGIS desktop system.
