Outline of Final Research Achievements

This quantitative linguistic study investigates the classification of all the words which represent standard official language in the northern China in early Qing Dynasty in Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan. Based on the Modern Chinese Classification Dictionary, these words can be classified into 17 categories and about 4000 sub-categories in terms of their lexical meanings. Building on this, this study demonstrates what words are used as well as the lexical meanings and the exact frequency of these words. This study is significant to understand the usage of target vocabulary, and turns to a new page to study the modern Chinese language at home and abroad.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで、中世、近世期における中国口語の歴史研究は、一つの作品に対して全出現語彙の意味分類および計量言語学的研究は皆無であった。本研究は、《醒世姻縁傳》において、どの語彙が、どのように(意味)、どれだけ(数量)使用されているかの状況が瞬時に判明できるだけではなく、清代語彙研究に基本材料を提供でき、近世中国語のコーパス構築のための第一歩となり得る研究であり、国内外の中国口語の歴史研究において学界初の試みとなる。
