Abstract: This paper focuses on the word “Ji [kɐi⁵²]” in the Guangfeng dialect, combining fieldwork with diachronic comparative analysis to examine the syntactic distribution and pragmatic functions of this word. The study finds that “Ji” in the Guangfeng dialect is frequently used to inquire about the degree of quantity and for exclamations; it can also appear in patterns such as “Ji……Ji……,” serving to indicate a degree of correspondence in compound sentences. A comparison with other Southern dialects reveals that “Ji” in the Guangfeng dialect has retained some of its earlier usages while also developing its own distinctive features through regional contact and local evolution.
