敦煌文献中的现代方言释证

Interpretation and Proof of Modern Vernacular in Dunhuang Documents

敦煌文献为唐宋白话文献,在今天的通语中难见踪迹,但在许多方言中,与之语音相近或相通的词语仍在使用,可以为这些词语的释义佐证。利用现代方言对敦煌文献中的“阿莽”“■■”“儃儃”“崖柴”“■”“■”“色妇”“暖房”“帽惑”等十多条敦煌文献词语加以考释,可发现古代词语还活跃在今天人们的口语中,敦煌文献中的现代方言释证,能够为古文献研究及词语考释提供一些参考。

Dunhuang documents are the vernacular ones of the Tang and Song Dynasties.The vernaculars are hard to see in today s general language,but in many vernaculars,the related words with similar or interlinked pronunciation are still used,which can provide the evidence for the word interpretations.By using the modern vernacular to make textual criticisms and explanations of more than ten words in Dunhuang documents,such as“amang(阿莽)”,“mole(■■)”,“tantan(儃儃)”,“yachai(崖柴)”,“zhan(■)”,“zhai(■)”,“sefu(色妇)”,“nuanfang(暖房)”,“maohuo(帽惑)”,we can find that the ancient words are still active in today s spoken language,and that the interpretation and proof of modern vernacular in Dunhuang Documents can provide some references for the study of ancient literature and textual criticisms and explanations of words.
