Linguistic Research of Pre-Classical Mongolian Materials

本研究的主要目的是制作前古代蒙古语材料的电子文本，并借助计算机对其进行分析，并考察其语言特点。《小经》(13-14世纪)和汉蒙碑文(14世纪)等蒙古文资料已以带有语法信息的罗马化文本的形式输入计算机。在这些材料中，作为本研究的结果，已经出版了《下经》的词频、词和词缀索引以及与语境的一致性(KWIC)。新发现如下：1、蒙古文“taw”、“daleth”区别明显，用法有别于后来的“书写蒙古文”规范。汉字“c”和“j”在词的中间有部分区分，这被认为是书写蒙古语的后期特征。与格后缀-da/-de，-ta/-te附着在以元音和辅音d结尾的词干上，而后缀-a/-e附着在另一种词干上。Ablative后缀-DACA/-DECES、-TACA/-TECE和后缀-aca/-Ece也是如此。

The main purpose of this reseach is to make electric texts of pre-classical Mongolian materials, to analyze them by the aid of computer, and to investigate their linguistic characteristics. Such Mongolian materials as Hsiao-ching (13-14 centuries) and Sino-Mongolian Inscriptions (14 centuries) have been put into computer in the shape of romanized texts with grammatical informations. Out of these materials, the wordlist with frequencies, word-and suffix-index, and condordance with contexts (KWIC) of Hsia-ching have been published as the result of this research. The followings can be pointed out as the new findings :1. The Mongoligan characters "taw" and "daleth" are distinctly distinguished and used in the different way from the later norm of "Written Mongolian".2. The characters "c" and "j" are partially distinguished in the middle of word, which is considered the later characteristic of Written Mongolian.3. The Dative-suffixes -da/-de, -ta/-te attach to the stems which end in vowerls and consonat "d", whereas the suffix -a/-e attaches to the other kind of stems. The same can be pointed out with the Ablative-suffixes -daca/-dece, -taca/-tece and the suffix -aca/-ece.
