摘要
粤方言词“细蚊仔”为“小孩儿”义,学界认为“蚊”的本字为“蛮”“民”或“蚊”。该词早期词形为“细蚊仔”“细文仔”,“蚊”当与“人”“农”意义相近,清代文献“文”“蚊”可做英文man的记音字,由此可知:“细蚊仔”为中英合璧词,“蚊”是man的记音字。所以,探求方言词词源、理据,应考虑词汇的系统性,关注同一方言区、周边方言区、汉语史中的同类词语,还应考虑方言区用字具有系统性、延续性。
“细蚊仔”,a Cantonese word with the original form of“细文仔”,means“kids”,and“蚊”is believed in the academic field to have originated from“蛮”“民”.“蚊”and“人”“农”may have the similar meaning and in documents in the Qing Dynasty“蚊”and““文”could be used as phonetic recording of English word“man”.Thus,the author holds that“细蚊仔”is a combination of Chinese and English words,in which“蚊”is the phonetic recording of“man”.Besides,when exploring the etymology and motivation of dialect words,we should consider the systematic traits of vocabulary,pay attention to the words of the same dialectic area,surrounding dialectic area and of the same history of Chinese language,and consider systematic and continual features of the words used in dialectic areas.
