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

调查人员已经完成了1716年在北京用木刻印刷的《格色-汗史诗》的整个蒙古文文本的罗马化抄写。笔录已以MS-DOS文本文件的形式记录在磁盘上，以便通过计算机进行语言分析和研究。研究结果如下：1.关于蒙古文的罗马化译文，每一行都有参考文献，表示篇数、页数和行数。每个名词和动词都被标出了词干和词尾之间的界限。2.对文本的所有词干(词)和词尾进行了整合。在索引中，可以看到所有的词(词干)和词尾，后面跟着它的频率和索引，上下文和参考文献。3.这篇课文的拼写特点之一是将不少的词分成两部分，而古蒙古语中应该写在词干之外的一系列词尾拼写成一个词。4.可以看到一些特殊的词尾形式，这反映了口语发音中词尾位置的声音减少。

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.
