摘要
本文提出语义创新可以作为衡量亲缘关系(genetic relationship)的特征。根据基本词的语义创新, 我们尝试以汉语方言为例探讨语言的亲缘关系,运用一个俭省(parsimonious)程序--PENNY,来进行汉语方言亲缘关系的量化分析。本文主要希望在研究方法上作一个新的探索。
In this paper, we argue that semantic innovations can be the characters for linguistic subgrouping. Chinese dialects as the case are classified by semantic innovations in basic semantic fields. A parsimonious algorithm, PENNY, is employed to do the quantitative analysis. The result of subgrouping is discussed in connection with other quantitative researches and studies on migrations.
