Features: This book compares the New Dialects with various dialectal literature, including the Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects and the Modern Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects. It statistically analyzes and categorizes the words or word senses in New Dialects that were not included in the Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects, words included in the Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects but only cited as isolated evidence in New Dialects, and words in the Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects that match both pronunciation and meaning but are not supported by New Dialects. The book also examines the homonymous but differently written words in modern dialects in New Dialects and corrects some errors in entries, definitions, and textual evidence in the Great Chinese Dictionary and the Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects. It provides examples to illustrate the reference value of New Dialects in studying original characters and homonymous but differently written words for the Modern Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects and other dialectal literature. Therefore, this book is of practical value for further research on New Dialects and the revision of the Great Chinese Dictionary, the Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects, and the Modern Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects.
