户弄载瓦语四音格词语义和韵律特征研究

Research on Semantic and Prosodic Features of Zaiwa Four-Syllable Words in Hounong Dialect

摘要: 户弄载瓦语拥有丰富的四音格词系统。本文从语音构成形式出发，对其四音格词的构词规则、语法功能、语义和韵律特征进行全面描写和分析，梳理出ABAC、AABB、ABAB、ABCD、ABCB、ABCC等六种结构类型，语义上大多具有会意和拟声摹形之用，韵律上则主要通过重复某音节或增加衬音音节实现。

Abstract: The Hunong Zaiwa language boasts a rich system of four-syllable words. This paper conducts a comprehensive descriptive and analytical study of their word-formation rules, grammatical functions, semantic properties, and prosodic features, focusing on their phonetic structural forms. Six structural types are identified: ABAC, AABB, ABAB, ABCD, ABCB, and ABCC. Semantically, most of these four-syllable words serve ideograph or morphological imitation functions. Prosodically, harmony is primarily achieved through the repetition of specific syllables or the insertion of auxiliary syllables.
