纳西东巴文同义换读研究

A study of synonymous replacement in Dong-ba manuscripts

"同义换读",是指在文献中字写作A,而实际上读作与A意义相同或相近的B的语言文字现象。东巴文的同义换读丰富多彩,灵活多变,论文按照换读语言单位的大小,将东巴文同义换读分为字词同义换读和语句同义换读两类,予以举例说明。指出同义换读的性质不是词义引申,也不是同音假借,而是一种临时的语用现象。其研究对于认识东巴经文字和语言的关系、正确解读经书、探索换读所蕴含的民族文化信息有重要的意义,对于其他民族古文字和普通文字学理论研究也有参考价值。

Synonymous replacement（同义换读）is a written language phenomenon in which one word can be record as character A,but it reads as character B,which has the same meaning of character A or a similar meaning.Synonymous replacement is a popular phenomenon in Dong-ba manuscripts.According to the size of linguistic units,this paper divides the synonymous replacement in Dong-ba manuscripts into two categories at either the lexical level or the syntactical level with examples.It concludes that the nature of synonymous replacement is a temporary pragmatic phenomenon rather than an extension of meaning or a borrowing of a similar character,whose study has much significance to a correct understanding of the relationships between Dong-ba scripts and the Naxi language,a correct interpretation of Dong-ba scripts and their rich ethnic and cultural implications as well as the promotion of the research of the ancient writings of other ethnic groups and the study of philological theories.
