一项关于“父亲”称谓的变异与变化研究

改革开放所带来的人口流动使农村言语社区发生了巨大变化。与任何进入言语交际的词语一样，一个地区居民对父亲的称呼也在发生一定的变异与变化。论文采用问卷调查、观察等形式，研究了河北省康保县这一地区1970年以来对“父亲”称呼的变异与变化现象，揭示了现象背后的社会历史原因，发现了一条语言变异与变化的规律:有潜在声望的词语替代低声望词语是一个自然过程，而原词语会作为一个普通变体进入语言交际过程中。 

A Study of the Variation and Change of the Addressing Terms for Father

With our country’s policy of reform and opening,the migration from the countryside to cities witnesses a great change of the speech communities.As any other word in communication,the addressing terms for one’s father are also involved in a process of variation and change.By using questionnaire and observation,this paper studies the variation and change of the terms used by the local people of Kangbao County in Hebei province since 1970 to address their fathers,underlining the hidden historical social factors.A pattern of variation and change is found: Potential prestigious forms will take the place of the non-prestigious forms,while the replaced word will become one of the common varieties in verbal communication.
