传承语的保守性与东南亚华语特征

Conservativeness of Heritage Languages and the Characteristics of Southeast Asian Chinese Mandarin

海外华人的华语从性质上讲是一种传承语。相对于祖籍国的对应语言,传承语者的传承语在发展上具有一定的保守性。海外华语与现代汉语普通话同源异流,保守性让今天的一些海外华语变体保留了当前普通话中已经消亡的一些词汇语法特征,这是海外华语变体特色形成的一个重要成因,同时这也让海外华语成为我们考察百年来现代汉语演变的一个重要视角。

Overseas Chinese can be considered as a heritage language.Compared to the corresponding language of its speakers' native country,the heritage language is conservative in its development.Overseas Chinese and modern standard Chinese have the same origin.The conservative property of heritage language has enabled today's overseas Chinese language to retain some lexical and grammatical features of traditional Chinese.The conservative property is an important cause of the development of Chinese variants in overseas countries,and it also makes it an important perspective from which to study the evolution of modern Chinese in the past century.
