Philological Study of the Mongolian Version of the "Geser-Khan Epic"

研究者完成了1716年在北京用木版印刷的《格色尔汗史诗》的全部蒙古文本的罗马化转录。这些录音以MS-DOS文本文件的形式记录在磁盘上，以便利用计算机进行语言分析和研究。主要结果如下：1.蒙古文拼音文本的每行都有表示章、页、行数的参考。每一个名词和动词的词干和词尾之间都有一个标记。2.课文中所有的词干（词）和词尾都已经统一了。在索引中可以看到所有的词（词干）和词尾，然后是它的频率和与上下文和所指的索引。3.这篇文章的正字法特点之一是，不少词被分开拼成两部分，而一系列在古典蒙古语中应该写在词干之外的词尾却被拼成一个词。这反映了口语化发音中出现的字尾位置音的减少。

The investigator has completed romanized transcription of the whole Mongolian text of the "Geser-Khan Epic", which was printed from blocks in Peking in 1716. The transcription has been recorded on a magnetic disk in the form of MS-DOS text file so that it can be utilized for linguistic analysis and research by means of a computer. Some results are as follows.1.As for the romanized transcription of the Mongolian text, each line contains the reference which indicates the number of chapter, page, and line. Every noun and verb has been given a mark of the boundary between its stem and ending.2.The concordance of all the stems(words)and endings of the text has been made. One can see, in the index, all the words(stems)and endings followed by its frequency and index with context and references.3.One of the orthographic characteristics of this text is that not a few words are spelled separately in two parts, while a series of endings which should be written apart from the stem in classical Mongolian are spelled together as one word.4.One can see some peculiar forms of word-endings, which reflects the reduction of sounds in word-final position occurred in the colloquial pronunciation.
