碩士<br>東吳大學<br>中國文學系<br>95<br>The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss onomatopoeias of in Taiwanese in a full-scale aspect. Onomatopoeias in this dissertation come from 12 Taiwan dialect dictionaries. Through analyses of these onomatopoeias, we hope to have a further understanding of onomatopoeias in Taiwanese. The analyses are in four aspects: Firstly, we discuss the definition of onomatopoeia and its character of linguistic symbols and categories of its part of speech in hope of understanding the differences among onomatopoeia and other parts of speech. This dissertation strictly redefines the definition of onomatopoeia, and through the demonstrations of Saussure’s arbitraries of the linguistic symbols theory and Peirce’s identification of symbols theory, it shows the unique character of the onomatopoeia. As for category of part of speech, via the outcome of comparison with other parts of speech, we find that it is necessary to have onomatopoeias be an independent part of speech. Secondary, according to the different contents of the onomatopoeia’s imitation, we classify collected onomatopoeias in detail in order to discuss the connection within their pronunciation and meaning. We classify the word meaning of onomatopoeia in 5 categories: the voice of people onomatopoeia, the voice of animal onomatopoeia, the voice of nature onomatopoeia, the voice of material onomatopoeia and the voice of musical instrument onomatopoeia. Thirdly, we analyze the connection between word meaning and pronunciation of Taiwanese onomatopoeias from vowel, consonant, and intonation. In order to increases the reliability of arguments; we use statistical method in analyzing vowels. The result of statistic shows that the vowel has a closer relation with word meaning and the consonant has less influence to word meaning. Taiwanese onomatopoeia has its fluidness and different onomatopoeia has less influence to word meaning. Finally, this dissertation uses McCarthy’s the rhythm construction theory to analyze Taiwanese onomatopoeia and breaks through the limitation of traditional way, which analyzing the rule of onomatopoeia rhythm by using single-line SPE method. By using rhythm construction method to analyze the construction of onomatopoeia syllable, we can obviously find out its way of none continuous episode in word construction.

碩士<br>高雄師範大學<br>台灣文化及語言研究所<br>97<br>In recent years, Mandarin adverb classification has been surveyed in terms of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics in the eyes of the synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Meanwhile, there are also integrate and discrete analyses on researches which providing detailed description and explanation for semantic and syntactic features of adverb subcategories. However, only semantic classification is available in extant Taiwanese adverb studies and researches, accompanying with rare references and introduction to them. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to make further contribution to Taiwanese adverb classification on the basis of previous studies. Firstly, starting with Mandarin and Taiwanese adverb classification, I will survey semantic meaning and functional features applying over adverb classification, and also, the attempt to generalize literatures on scope adverbs will be offered in the hope to attain a deeper and more complete analysis on Taiwanese scope adverbs. Secondly, I will draw clear definitions about Taiwanese scope adverbs and compare them with those of Mandarin in order to derive four concrete and convinced classifications, namely sum up adverb(總括副詞)、statistics adverb(統計副詞)、limit adverb(限定副詞) and resemblance adverb (類同副詞), which are used to classify adverbs. With these four classifications and functional feature analysis, we find that these four classifications do play a critical role in classifying scope adverbs. Such finding proves that these four classifications are superior to those in terms of semantic features. However, semantic-feature-based analysis is still needed given that it can subcategorize and specify these four kinds of scope adverbs, making lexical meaning of the same category more relevant and distinguished. In other words, semantic feature analysis can be employed to make up the deficiency of functional feature analysis. With the help of surveying and analyzing Taiwanese scope adverbs, the goal of this thesis is to deepen our understanding and knowledge about Taiwanese lexicon. Aside from enriching my expertise in linguistics and teaching, I hope that this thesis can elevate the quality of local language teaching.

碩士<br>國立新竹教育大學<br>人資處語文教學碩士班<br>99<br>My thesis is mainly focusing on categorization and interpretation of Taiwan Minnan dialect to create a database of classifiers through data collecting and analysis from old language literatures and corpus database. As my thesis points out the method of categorization is to separate classifiers into two main categories, respectively, classifiers in the form of “numeral + noun” and regular classifiers. In addition, regular classifiers are also divided into two subcategories; one is object classifiers and the other is event classifiers. By using this approach, I have researched related topics on semantics, syntax, and pragmatics of classifiers. In following, through the concept of vocabulary classifying to understand the common ordering of classifiers of Taiwan Minnan dialect, the order usually comes as follows: 1. Fixed classifier should come before temporary classifier. 2. Classifier of Object should appear before classifier of event. 3. Individual classifier should come before group classifier. 4. Classifier of colors and forms should come before classifier of non-colors and formless. Lastly, let classifiers become an important role to create more effective teaching methods on the language levels of phonetics, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics of Taiwan Minnan dialect with the principles of practical usage, comparison, simplification, analogy, explanation, and progressive teaching. In writing this paper, I am hoping that it will provide useful information for the future Taiwan Minnan dialect researchers of classifiers and teaching of classifiers, and making my small contribution on linguistic research.

碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>語言學研究所<br>99<br>The aim of this thesis is two-fold. First, I will investigate the Double Object Constructions in Taiwan Southern Min (TSM). Second, I will provide topography for the Applicative constrictions in TSM. Concerning the first part, contrary to Cheng et al. (1996), I will propose that the Dative hoo involves a different syntactic construction vis-??vis the Causative hoo in TSM. Specifically, the dative goal DP (indirect object) is introduced by the Low Appl head hoo situated below VP (cf. McGinnis 2001). The possession relation between the goal (dative) DP and the theme DP is constructed via such Low Applicative Construction (cf. Cuervo 2003). On the other hand, the Causative hoo occupies the v head denoting a CAUSATIVE meaning. As for the second part, based upon Tsai’s (2007, 2009) three-way distinction of applicatives in Mandarin Chinese, I will draw topography of the Applicative constructions in TSM. Tsai (2007, 2009) proposes that there are at least three types of applicative constructions in Mandarin — High Applicatives, Middle Applicatives, and Low Applicatives. The affectee and the beneficiary marked by the overt marker gei ‘give’ belong to the High Applicatives and Middle Applicatives, respectively; on the other hand, the unmarked affectee and beneficiary, in the form of the pseudo-DOC construction, instantiate the Middle Applicatives and Low Applicatives, respectively. It is observed that, compared with Mandarin, which employs two approaches in introducing the affectee or the beneficiary argument, i.e. with an overt marker gei or in the form of pseudo-DOC, TSM also has these two types of construals. The affectee and the beneficiary in TSM can either be marked by ka, or be headed by an implicit applicative head in the form of pseudo-DOC. However, TSM is freer than Mandarin in that it permits both strategies in the Middle and Low Applicative constructions. Finally, this thesis also examines the hierarchical relations between the Applicative constructions and adverbs in TSM in a cartographic approach (Rizzi 1997, Cinque 1999). It is found that some adverbs can serve as suitable boundary markers in separating different Applicative constructions in TSM. For instance, sentential adverbs, such as tsiannsit ‘really’, in the CP layer, must precede all the three Applicative constructions; eventive adverbs, e.g. tianntiann ‘often’, are located in Spec,vP between High Applicatives and Middle Applicatives; and manner adverbs, like banban-a ‘slowly’, are situated in Spec,VP between Middle Applicatives and Low Applicatives. The system of the Applicative constructions in TSM is sketched in (1) below. (1) TSM Applicatives a. High applicatives: associated with the CP phase → involved in the arrangement of the information structure. → introducing ka-marked affectee/speaker. b. Middle applicatives: associated with the vP phase → involved in the arrangement of the event structure. → introducing ka-marked or unmarked affectee. c. Low applicatives: associated with the lower VP shell → involved in the arrangement of the argument structure. → introducing ka-marked or unmarked beneficiary. (→ introducing hoo-marked dative DP.)
