Two early sources on the Shaowu dialect
两项有关早期邵武方言的资料

Abstract 摘要
Two early sources for the Shàowǔ 邵武 dialect are examined in light of the author’s field notes. A surprisingly accurate description of Shàowǔ tones is already found in an 1878 article. The 1901 Shàowǔfǔzhì 邵武府志 contains a number of Shaowu forms along with forms from other closely related dialects. Material from both these early sources is found to be readily interpretable in terms of modern dialect forms.

作者找到了两项有关早期邵武方言的资料。一篇是1878 年Walker氏写的 Shao-wu in Fu-kien; a country Station. 另一处在1901年的“邵武府志”中。本文是报告以作者记录的现在邵武方言和上述两项资料对比研究的结果：一．Walker 氏的文章中，对邵武方言声调方面的分析相当精确。对比以后可看出百年来邵武声调的变化。二．邵武府志中用汉字记载了当时邵武方言的一些特殊词汇。对比后，用现在的资料可说明解释那些词汇的意义。
