西洋传教士文献在汉语方言研究中的重要价值——以《从西洋传教士文献看台州方言百余年来的演变》为例

Great Values of the Western Missionary Literature in Chinese Dialect Research——Taking the book“the Development of Taizhou Dialect over One Hundred Years from the Perspective of Western Missionary Literature”as an Example

19世纪以前西洋传教士文献在方言研究中的价值越来越受到学界的重视。从《从西洋传教士文献看台州方言百余年来的演变》一书来看,西洋传教士文献在方言研究中的价值主要体现在对第一手方言历史语料的发掘和利用两方面,从而起到填补当代台州方言以及吴语研究的空白,构建其方言演变的发展轨迹的作用。

Before the 19th century,the value of western missionary literature in dialect research has been paid more and more attention.From the book“the development of Taizhou dialect over one hundred years from the perspective of western missionary literature”,the value of western missionary literature in dialect research is mainly reflected in the excavation and utilization of the first-hand dialect historical corpus,which can fill the gap in the contemporary study of Taizhou dialect and Wu dialect,and construct the development track of its dialect evolution.
