南岭走廊族群的语言接触与互动——以萌渚岭中段贺州为个案

THE LINGUISTIC CONTACT AND INTERACTION AMONG THE ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE NANLING CORRIDOR: THE CASE OF HEZHOU IN THE MIDDLE SEGMENT OF THE MENGZHU MOUNTAINS

贺州地处萌渚岭中段、湘粤桂三省区交界地带,这里世居着壮、汉、瑶、苗等族群。这些语言族群长期以来与汉语方言族群毗邻,随着经济、文化的交往,语言接触互动成为必然。区域族群语言互动的原动力来自彼此的多层次需要,其差异根源在于族群文化内在的认知结构及文化语法。这种差异表征在语言上为语言符号的非对应性,族际互动可以有效解决这一问题。互动的形式通常有语言互用、词语互借、语法互适,不管何种形式,都必须建立在语言族群个体或群体认同的基础上。语言的彼此认同互动,有利于语言和族际关系和谐。

The Hezhouprefecture locates in the middle segment of the MengzhuMountains and at thejunction of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi provinces. The linguistic ethnic groups of Zhuang, Dong, Yao,Miao reside here for generations. These ethnic groups are adjacent to groups of Chinese dialect speakersfor a long time, and along with the economic and cultural exchanges, the linguistic contact and interactionbecome inevitable. The impulsion of regional ethnic language interaction come from the multi-level needsof each other, and the difference is rooted in the inner cognitive structure and cultural syntax of ethniccultures. This difference characters the non-congruent relationship of languages, but interaction of ethnicgroups can effectively solve the problem. Interaction is usually in the form of language interoperability,borrowing each other^s words, and grammar compatibility. No matter what form it is, the interaction mustbe based on the individual or group identification of languageethic group. Language identity interaction ishelpful for the harmony of both thelanguages and ethnic relationship.
