A Study on Gustatory Words of Hmong Sub-dialect of Northeastern Yunnan
As a closed subclass within the Hmong vocabulary system,gustatory words are used frequently although they are small in number.Formally,Hmong gustatory words have both monosyllabic and two-syllable forms.In addition to the basic conceptual meaning,a large number of meanings are also derived through synaesthesia metaphors,so more syntactic features are highlighted at the syntactic level.Taking Hmong gustatory words as the research object,this paper analyzes Hmong gustatory words in depth from the aspects of gustatory words system,evaluation object,syntactic characteristics,semantic system and metaphorical characteristics,and strives to show the new appearance of Hmong gustatory words in the northeast Yunnan sub-dialect.
