Abstract 摘要
This paper deals with the vowel configurations of Shuangfeng, Taihe, and Xinhua dialects by using a method of format frequency transformation to arrive at vowel patterns. The comparason of the basic vowel patterns in the three dialects shows three models of the dialect contact: transition, overshot and reversing. The models of vowel pattern of the ancestor, the mixed and the target dialect are also discussed respectively. The vowel pattern of the mixed dialect (Xinhua dialect) has mixed features, and the vowels of the mixed dialect have characteristics of transition.
