澎湖群岛方言调查

Abstract 摘要
After an introduction to the geography of the Penghu Islands and a discussion of research techniques employed, the dialect of Magong, the capital, is described in detail as to initials, finals, and tones. Next, the seven major subdialects are compared on the basis of transcriptions of fifty items showing the greatest amount of variation that were recorded in 88 villages. The conclusions are: (1) the Penghu dialects belong to Southern Min; (2) Variation within the dialects is considerable, in fact almost as great as within the whole Southern Min dialect group; (3) the features in which there is the greatest variation include changed tones, certain finals and a small number of lexical items; (4) by comparing these features, the Penghu dialects can be divided into two large groups, of which the second can be further divided into six subgroups. A sample text completes the article.

本文系根据来自八十八个村里的语料将澎湖方言的语音系统加以描述与比较。所得的结论是：（一）澎湖方言系属闽南方言；（二）其各方言之间的差别相当大，几乎可与所有闽南方言之间的差别相比拟；（三）其中最大的差别包括变调，部分韵母和少部分的词汇；（四）就以上之差别加以比较，澎湖方言可以分为两大方言区，其中第二区可再分为六个次区。
