徐千舜現代客家創作歌曲的語言風格研究

The Study on the Language Style of Xu Qianshun’s Modern Hakka Song Compositions

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 me-ticulously collected from Xu’s compositions. This study employed compara¬tive, 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 exten¬sive use of onomatopoeia, loan words, neologisms, color terms, and redupli¬cations. Additionally, the lyrics prominently feature references to nature, an¬imals, 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.
