苗栗後龍新港東社道卡斯族臺灣閩南語語言變異現象初探

An Inquiry of Linguistic Changes and Variations in the Taiwanese Hokkien Spoken by Taokas People of Eastern Hsin-Kang, Hou-Lung Township, Miaoli County

道卡斯族(Taokas)屬於臺灣平埔族之一族，主要分布於臺中市大甲區以北，經苗栗縣沿海地區，一直及於新竹市附近的海岸平原一帶。其主要分為三大社群：(1)崩山社群(2)後龍社群及(3)竹塹社群。目前苗栗後龍的道卡斯族群亦通行臺灣閩南語。本研究擬從事原、漢接觸後之語言轉用問題研究，實地進行對該族群之臺灣閩南語音韻系統田野調查，以社會語言學的角度探尋不同年齡層間的社會語言變異與變化現象。

The Taokas people are a group of Taiwanese Plains Aborigines who are distributed along the coastal area of Miaoli County, the coastal plain of Hsinchu, and the northern Dajia area of Taichung City. The Taokas are comprised of three major groups: the Banshan group, the Houlong group, and the Hsinchu group. Currently, the Taokas Group at Houlong Township Miaoli County still use Taiwanese. The authors explore language transferral problems by the Indigenous peoples and Han people contact effects. In addition, this study focuses on fieldwork for the phonological system of this group's Taiwanese and thereby uses sociolinguistics to explores the variations and changes between different time.
