Project on han Dialect (PHD)

中国方言研究的快速发展，特别是近十年来，使汉语方言学家产生了一部划时代的著作--《中国语言图集》。拉加的目的是确定和显示主要方言或方言群之间的边界。半个世纪前，W·格罗泰尔斯在《中国》中提出了方言地理研究。遗憾的是，他的提议以及他在晋北的探险工作，在汉语方言学的主流中一直被忽视。现在是时候更新Grootaers的建议了--这是研究中国语言变化的“清晰”方法的必要性。“汉语方言研究计划”(PHD)的目的是绘制汉语方言的语言地图。博士的概念是基于Grootaers和日本方言学的传统，特别是《日本语言地图集》的传统。我们将要绘制的地图只不过是试图揭示方言的历时方面。在前三年，我们建立了一个方言信息数据库和一些特定语音、词汇和句法项目的样本地图。在数据库中，每个调查地点都按纬度和经度(地点编号)确定，并为每个地点输入相关信息。在数据库的基础上，用60种图章手工绘制了语言地图。进度报告第一卷载有该项目的总体思路、对语言地图的解释和其他贡献；第二卷列出了18幅地图；第三卷输出了方言信息数据库(6500项)和选定的参考书目(1500种出版物)。

Rapid progress of dialect survey in China, particularly in the last ten years, made it possible for Chinese dialectologists to produce an epoch-making work, "LANGUAGE ATLAS OF CHINA" (LAC). The purpose of LAC is to determine and to show the boundaries between the major dialects or dialect groups.It was half a century ago that W. Grootaers proposed a geographical research of the dialects in China. Unfortunately, his proposal, as well as his pionieering works in Northern Shanxi, has been ignored in the mainstream of Chinese dialectology. Now it is time to renew Grootaers's proposal -- the necessity of this "cleissical" method for investigating linguistic changes in China -- again.Project on Han dialect (PHD) was designed to make linguistic maps of Han dialects. The idea of PHD is based on Grootaers as well as the tradition of Japanese dialectology, particularly that of "Linguistic Atlas of Japan". And the maps that we are going to make are nothing but attempts to reveal the diachronic aspects of the dialects. For the first three years, we made a database of dialectal information and some sample maps for some particular phonetic, lexical and syntactic items. In the data-base, every surveyed locality was identified by latitude and longitude (locality number), and relevant information was inputted for each. Based on the data-base, Iinguistic maps were made by hand using 60 types of stamps.In the progress report, the general idea of this project, the explanation for the linguistic maps and some other contributions are included in volume 1 ; 18 maps are shown in volume 2 ; and data-base for dialectal information (6, 500 items) as well as a selected bibliography (1, 500 publications) are outputted in volume 3.
