Characteristics of Liyang dialect

First, Liyang dialect is concise, popular and simple, with strong generality and symbolism. For example, jealousy is called "jealousy", haste is called "devotion to life", improper words and deeds are called "out of tune", a little knowledge is called "half-hanging", coquetry is called "intimacy", doing things without considering the consequences is called "going to court" and repeating the same thing is called "grabbing shares". Some liyang dialect are very rich in content, and they are interested in different time, place and object. For example, Liyang people say that "famous articles" have the meaning of "name", "difference" and "rarity"; Liyang people say "dim sum" refers to both "lunch" and "noon" and "food like cakes". When you introduce your father to others, you can call him "Lao Zi", when you have an argument with others, you can call him "My Lao Zi", and when you introduce your son to others, you can call him "skinny" and talk about others. Liyang dialect called people who like to show themselves "stuffed", "handsome" and "living in the world", called teasing "moved", "embarrassed", "urged" and "sent away", and called meanness "careful", "wet" and "being a family member". Liyang dialect is also unique in appellation. If you take it literally, you will make some jokes. People in Liyang refer to "Niangniang" as grandma, "Sister Head" as unmarried women, "Nvlao Family" as married women, "Shantou Family" as little girls, "Bro" as wives, and calling mother "Enniang" is not only vivid but also affectionate.

Secondly, Liyang dialect is vivid, vivid and accurate, which is a major feature. On the one hand, he is good at using the rhetorical device of "metonymy" to portray the action state and character incisively and vividly. Liyang people describe their shrewdness as "pulling away from Beijing", their meanness as "pinching small fish" and "scraping the wall", their intentional meanness as "turning to death", their difficulties in getting along with others as "hard nails" and "three pig heads", what their generation should not do as "pulling the pole" and their children's salad as "stirring the paste". There are also short and fat people called "white gourd" or "Lugou", tall and thin people called "egret" and thin people called "salted chicken bones".

Thirdly, Liyang dialect is good at using "metaphor" and "exaggeration" to make the expression effect of the language more ideological and vivid. When expressing the shape, nature and state of people or things in words, both ontology and vehicle appear, and the middle is connected by the word "pull". If the expression is very round, it is customary to use "rolling melon and round" to indicate that it is as round as a melon. It means hard, and it is customary to use "iron bowl hard", which means as hard as iron and bowl. It means very cold, and it is customary to use "frozen shade", as cold as frozen ice. There are also some dialects that use double metaphors. For example, a girl born white and tender is called "Snow White Lotus", which means as white as snow and lotus. The metaphor is very thin, called "tinfoil scrap", which means as thin as tinfoil and paper; Metaphors are also used: phlogistic grasshopper, horse burning, heart and lung gouging out, old muscle scarring, and so on. There are also some dialects that use "exaggeration" rhetoric. For example, after strenuous exercise, you are out of breath, which is called "blood collapse". If you eat to the point where your stomach can't hold up, it is called "bloating". Covered with mud, it is called "Mud Day".

4. Another feature of Liyang dialect is that there are many adverbs expressing degree when modifying adjectives.

Such as: brand-new, completely soft, pink, crushed, thin and empty, thin and light, fat and old, old and old, and wet and wet, beautiful and slippery. Liyang dialect is concise and appropriate in expressing color and taste, and has dialect personality. For example, to describe the ruddy and fair skin is called "red tone and fine white"; When the color is not good-looking, it is called "dead colored face"; There are also black, red, red, green, purple, yellow paste, yellow rammer, white, red blood, green wave ... and the description of the taste is also very vivid. For example: a little sweet, say "sweet Mimi"; Very sweet, say "sweet bone"; A little sour, say "sour Ji Ji", very sour, say: Wen died of acid "; It's a little bitter. It's bitter to say "well-meaning" and bitter to say "bitter to drop". There are also some salty, screaming and salty, spicy and light dates.

5. Liyang dialect also has a great feature, that is, it is good at using onomatopoeic words to make the language concrete and give people a feeling as calm as its voice. Adjectives and verbs are preceded by onomatopoeic words: the description is very fragile and called "crunchy"; Describe stingy, called "oh, look at each other"; Describe being soaked, called "dripping for a long time". There are onomatopoeia words after nouns and adjectives: the description is very dry, which is called "burning and peeling". Describe urgency and call it "urgency"; There are also beggars, skinny people, headless people, foreign-made people, stupid people and food. The onomatopoeic words used between adverbs and adjectives are: rolling, hissing, hairy, rolling, scalding and sliding. There are four onomatopoeic words that all indicate the action state: describing the continuous movement of hands and feet, called "knowing the rope"; Describe no hope and call it "oh, ha, ha, ha".

6. Liyang dialect has other characteristics. For example, two morphemes of a compound word in a sentence, the former is the object of the sentence and the latter is the content of the sentence. However, in some Liyang dialects, the order of statements is reversed, so that the former is the content of statements and the latter is the object of statements: for example, glue means water glue, the moon means the moon, and popsicles mean popsicles. The word order has also changed: like to say joy, snails say snails and so on. For another example, the names of animals in some dialects are determined according to their pronunciation. Liyang people call eggs "giggle" and use eggs to take the names of hens after laying eggs. This is the original creation of Liyang people in language.

7. liyang dialect's speech is blunt, even a little domineering, which is in sharp contrast with the soft waxy Wu dialect representing Suzhou dialect. In fact, this is determined by the brave, strong and aggressive character of Liyang people, and many anti-violence stories have been left in history. Therefore, the aggressive Liyang people also formed the aggressive dialect characteristics. The most expressive thing is that Liyang people scold each other, which is really "blind" to the extreme. In the nature and degree of mutual scolding, it is general, such as: blaming others for breaking their promises and scolding "ten hearts upside down"; Blame others for pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, and call others "stupid", "thirteen points", "pretending to be stupid" and "Zhu Li Ba Ling", "long life" and "crazy"; Accuse others of not being generous, and call others "sloppy" and "arrogant"; Blame others for not pleasing to the eye, scold "pockmarked concave knife" and "eight down disgust"; Blame others for depression and scold others for "being alive after death." In addition, in the nature and degree of swearing, there are: chewing white maggots, chewing white teeth, begging ghosts, soft-headed guys, ghosts, thin corpses, juvenile deaths, as well as elite bastards, few ghosts, private beheading, absolutely XXXXX, dead mothers and so on.
