《红楼梦》的语言与牟平方言有许多共同之处,这可能与作者曹雪芹幼年生活的语言环境有关。因为曹雪芹的祖母李氏虽系山东昌邑人,但其祖上曾世居牟平,后始迁居昌邑,故其语言必然与牟平方言有着千丝万缕的联系。曹雪芹于语言形成的最佳时期的幼年时代生活在这样的语言环境中,其母语必然受到其祖母及其他相关亲人的影响,故此其作品《红楼梦》的语言与牟平方言有着诸多共同之处,也就不足为奇了。 The language of “Dream of the Red Chamber” has much in common with Muping dialect, which may be related to the linguistic environment of Cao Xueqin's childhood. Because Cao Xueqin's grandmother, Li Changyi Shandong Department of people, but his ancestors had Muping native, later moved to Changyi, so the language is bound to Muping dialect inextricably linked. Cao Xueqin lived in such a linguistic environment in his early childhood when language was best formed. His mother tongue was bound to be influenced by his grandmother and other relatives. Therefore, the language of his work “A Dream of Red Mansions” had many similarities with Muping dialect. Not surprising.
