An Analysis of the Lexical Culture of the Wugong County Dialect

Abstract

As a component of the Shaanxi dialect and even the northern dialect, the Wugong dialect has its unique regional characteristics and cultural value. As Wugong County is located in the west of central Shaanxi Province, between Xi’an City and Baoji City, this geographical position makes it a major transportation route between the two places, and also makes the dialect of this place subject to multicultural influences, forming its own unique linguistic characteristics. Through an in-depth study of the vocabulary of the Wugong dialect in Xianyang City, this paper aims to explore the internal differences of the dialect and the reasons for its formation. By analyzing the lexical features in the Wugong dialect and comparing them with Putonghua, the differences in pronunciation, lexical usage habits, syntactic structure and other aspects are revealed. These differences not only reflect the influence of geographical environment and historical background on the formation of the dialect, but also the role of social change and cultural exchange on the evolution of the language. The significance of studying the Wugong dialect is that it maintains and enriches the cultural diversity of Chinese dialects, and at the same time provides new perspectives and materials for understanding the Shaanxi dialect. In addition, the study of dialects helps preserve traditional culture, promotes the excavation and utilization of language resources, and promotes the development of linguistics and related disciplines. Overall, by analyzing the characteristics and internal differences of the Wugong dialect, this paper not only enhances our understanding of the dialects of the region, but also provides theoretical support for the protection and transmission of the dialects, as well as a reference and reference for the study of other Chinese dialects.
