遂昌方言俗词本字考

A Study on Forms of Original Characters in Suichang Dialect

在对遂昌方言有较系统研究的成果《遂昌县志》和《吴语处衢方言研究》中,多处存在无法确认本字的情况:或作无字词处理,或以同音字表示,或误认本字;还存在二者均未涉及某个词条而民间因多不知其本字而误认本字的情况。针对这四种情况,可依据古代韵典辞书及相关文献中的用例,按照"音合意符"的原则,对遂昌方言部分俗词(如"妈/爬/冷")进行本字(■/■/■)确认。

In The Annals of Suichang County and The Research on Dialects of Chuzhou and Quzhou,the original forms of some characters can＇t be decoded： they are either considered as nonexistent ones, or represented by homophones,or treated as mistaken ones. In addition,there exist vocabulary entries with characters which have not be touched in both literature and are mistakenly read by local people due to the lack of the knowledge of their original forms. In these four situations, we could confirm the original forms of some characters in Suichang dialect,for example, （mother） / （climb） / （cold）by referring to the use cases included in ancient rhyme dictionaries and related literature and decode them by the pronounciation and meaning of their component parts.
