    The history of Lingnan Dialect Study is not too short,Published from Western missionary Morrison (Mariezon) "Guangdong Province Tuhua Words" (1828) to this day,It has a history of nearly two hundred years; and the method of modern linguistics to study Lingnan dialect,The first push Mr. Wang Li's "Cantonese Sound" (1928),It has a history of nearly a century to date。But some of the basic problems of Lingnan dialect,Still lack of comprehensive and in -depth understanding,Origin of Lingnan dialect、distribution and characteristics,The relationship between Lingnan dialect and ancient Chinese、The relationship between the people of Baiyue、The relationship between Chinese dialects with surroundings,The accurate number of people in the dialects of Lingnan,There is no satisfactory research results so far。In view of this,The Chinese Dialect Research Center of Jinan University recently joined the universities in Guangdong Province,Carry out & ldquo; Guangdong、Fujian、The construction and research of the geographical information system of the guest dialects & rdquo;。

    In a sense,,Geographical Linguistics is the connotation display after the contemporary dialect uses a new method。bet365 best casino games & ldquo; Yue、Fujian、The value of the geographical information system of the guest dialects & rdquo;,For the first time investigating Guangdong Province with a large scale、Fujian、The three dialects of the guest are a breakthrough,cross -changing combined with social factors and geographical factors,Show and explain to language mutations,Carry out three -dimensional geographical linguistics research。The construction and research of this system have four meanings。
 
    First,Diverse language in Lingnan area,Dialects complex,But the previous research on dialects has less research。bet365 best casino games & ldquo; Yue、Fujian、The construction and research of the geographical information system of the guest dialects & rdquo;,Classified、Organization、Drawing and Explanation,Show the essential characteristics and organic contact of various dialects,This has a pioneering significance in the history of the study of Lingnan dialect。
 
    Second,Current,Software used in Lingnan is mostly single -machine software,serious sharing,It hinders the effective use of geographical information。This topic will use a new、Software tools with high sharing,Build a domestic advanced、Trees multi -level、stereo、Dynamic platform that can be updated in real time。
 
    third,Mark the degree of endangered Chinese dialect。This is an important content of language survey of language and national conditions,It is also an important measure to protect and rescue language resources,This move will increase the attention of society's attention to dialect survival。
 
    Fourth,Create Cantonese、Bet365 lotto review Fujian、Geographical Information System of Dialects,Human geography research in Lingnan area,Promote the development of geographical linguistics in the south, especially the Lingnan region,You can provide reference experience。
 
    Breakthrough GIS data processing tool meaning
 
    Geographical Information System (GIS) is a academic language tool commonly used in geography,wide application surface。From ancient times to present,There are regional differences in Chinese,Different humanistic geographical conditions and natural geographical conditions have a significant impact on the evolution of Chinese dialects。So,The investigation and research of computer technology and GIS into Chinese dialects is logical,Evil is imminent。But due to technical reasons,my country's use of GIS to investigate and study Chinese dialects also belong to the attempt stage。early this century,There are a few scholars who introduced this method for investigation and research of Chinese dialects,For example, the new version of the new version of Zhang Zhenxing and others & ldquo; Chinese language atlas & rdquo;,Cao Zhiyun hosted & ldquo; Chinese dialect atlas & rdquo;,Shi Haoyuan、Shi Rujie and Gu Qian co -hosted & ldquo;,Pan Wuyun hosted & ldquo; Chinese dialect geography information system & rdquo;,Gan Yuen's hosted & ldquo; Guangdong Guangdong dialect atlas & rdquo; et al.,These topics have their own characteristics,But there are also limitations。The most obvious limit is to use GIS as a tool for processing dialect data,bet365 best casino games instead of communicating dialect data dynamic platform,The latter is still emerging in the Chinese dialects。
 
    GIS applications are very different from conventional transactions,Highlighting the huge amount of information、Complex handling methods and requirements for safety and fault -tolerant mechanisms。Design Chinese dialect GIS should be based on three concepts: open、Digitalization of interaction and dialect。
bet365 best casino games & ldquo; Yue、Fujian、The construction and research of the geographical information system of the guest dialects & rdquo;,Take GIS as a platform,Practice to build the most complete Lingnan dialect geographic information system in history,Organic integration of language information with other humanities information into a whole,It is open、Innovative、Systematic、Expansion、Precision、Seven characteristics of resources and practicality,The content includes dynamic information of language and dialect、Automatic drawing of language map、Language evolution trend analysis, language evolution and immigration、Mode of contact between language inter -language。
 
 
 
    Comprehensively carry out dialect research from time and space dimension
 
    Traditional dialect studies have left many academic value,But the deficiencies of its fatality lies in the non -verified (lack of audiovisual records)、Non -data (Static text records,or the results of the survey have not been converted into databases) and system problems,This brings great obstacles to the comparison of time and space between dialects。To overcome this obstacle,Dialects survey must have a new idea。
 
    bet365 best casino games & ldquo; Yue、Fujian、The construction and research of the geographical information system of the guest dialects & rdquo; from the two dimensions of time and bet365 best casino games space, comprehensively reflect the connotation and characteristics of Lingnan dialect。Studies of the time dimension can be divided into two levels: common time and time.。The category and distribution of language/dialects at the common level of the common level、Use population,Basic situation of language communication,Language/Dialect Examination Research,Craid Collection,The basic situation of dialect literature,Dialectical Tools and Contemporary Research Status。The duration level includes the immigration status of the dialect area、genealogy、Dialect Rhyme Books and Studies,The description and study of the local dialects in the early scholars,Local Chronicle (including Dialect Chronicle),Early local literature,Records of the disappeared dialect literature in history books。
 
    Study on space dimensions can be refined according to the differences in regional or dialects。bet365 best casino games & ldquo; Yue、Fujian、The construction and research of the geographical information system of the guest dialects & rdquo;、& ldquo; Meizhou regional geographical linguistics research and geographic information system & rdquo; and & ldquo; Chinese dialect research in Yunfu area & rdquo;,is the consideration based on space dimension。Introduction of regional spatial dimensions,Not only is it convenient to manage,and more clear at the logic level,Researchers can follow the city (prefecture -level city)、County (district)、Town (Street Office)、Village conducts a step -by -step division of labor survey,Not easy to miss。Choose the survey point according to the Bet365 lotto review administrative division,May only pay attention to the main、Dialects with great influence,Dialects with less population will be excluded,So,We can also combine the nature of dialect,Promote the improvement of the research of spatial dimensions。
 
    Investigation and rescue endangered dialect is also an important content of this subject。According to the nature of different dialects,Select the relevant representative points,Not only do you want to census Guangdong、Fujian、Three Dialects of Guest,Also investigate northern Guangdong Turkey、Military words、Southwest official words、Hunan、Gan language and other non -mainstream languages。other,Pay attention to the variation characteristics of dialect island in the blockbuster dialect area is also an important inspection content。Research ideas can ensure & ldquo; Guangdong、Bet365 lotto review Fujian、Geographical Information system of guest dialects & rdquo; truly becoming a regional geographical information platform。
