Construction and Application of Geographic Information System for the Gan Dialect in Jiangxi
The protection and development of language resources have risen to a national strategy.Using information technology to protect and inherit dialects can effectively meet the demands of national and local governments for dialect preservation.Given the shortcomings in existing dialect geographic information systems,particularly in the integrated management of sound,image,picture and text,language situation monitoring,and automated mapping,this paper takes Jiangxi as a case study,focusing on the realization of a geographic information system(GIS)of the Gan dialect in Jiangxi.Firstly,the background of the system con-struction is introduced.Secondly.the system is designed from the aspects of system architecture,function,the database and so on.Finally,employing the GIS secondary development component ArcGIS Engine,the system is implemented using a plug-in de-velopment method.The system primarily achieves the integration and management of multi-modal dialect data,dialect resource statistics,dialect data querying and location,language situation monitoring,custom classification of dialect features,mapping of dialect feature,and geographical feature analysis.The implementation of this system contributes to the scientific research,pro-tection,and development of Jiangxi dialects.Additionally,it holds reference value for the construction of dialect geographic in-formation systems for other regions.
