徐千舜現代客家創作歌曲的語言風格研究

Abstract

本研究是初步了解臺灣現代客家創作歌曲語言風格的重要一步。在謹慎考量後，以客籍音樂創作人徐千舜的現代客家創作歌曲為研究語料。本研究使用比較法、描寫法及統計法。研究結果顯示：句尾韻及句首韻傾向使用以低元音a或後元音u、o為主要元音的韻母。在詞彙風格方面，使用擬聲詞、外來語、自創的新詞、顏色詞及大量的疊詞和自然景物類與動、植物類詞彙。在徐千舜創作的歌曲中，還有幾點是值得注意的：一是常使用第一人稱代詞與「飛、騎、跈」等動詞。二是「到（do）」多當介詞，「分（bunˊ）」多當雙賓動詞。三是「摎（lauˊ）」與「同（tungˇ）」相較，使用「摎（lauˊ）」的例子遠多於使用「同（tungˇ）」的例子。

This study provides a foundational understanding of modern Hakka song compositions in Taiwan, focusing on the works of Xu Qianshun, a prominent composer of modern Hakka music. Linguistic data for this research were meticulously collected from Xu's compositions. This study employed comparative, descriptive, and statistical approaches to analysis. The findings reveal a preference for certain phonological patterns, with the low vowel “a” and the back vowels “u” and “o” frequently appearing in both end rhymes and head rhymes. From a lexical stylistic perspective, Xu's compositions exhibit extensive use of onomatopoeia, loan words, neologisms, color terms, and reduplications. Additionally, the lyrics prominently feature references to nature, animals, and plants. Several notable linguistic tendencies were identified in Xu Qianshun's song compositions. First, first-person pronouns and verbs such as “fly,” “ride,” and “follow” were frequently used. Second, “到 (do)” was used as a preposition, whereas “分 (bunˊ)” was more commonly used as a dative verb. Third, “摎 (lauˊ)” was far more frequently used than “同 (tungˇ)” was.
