碩士 === 國立屏東教育大學 === 中國語文學系 === 98 === Vietnam is one of countries located in the area affected by Han (Chinese) culture. Due to geographical features and historical conditions, China and Vietnam have always had a long-term cultural exchange. Han spoken and written language were used by Vietnamese people as an official spoken and written language. Over 1000 years, Vietnamese language had been profoundly influenced by Chinese literature. The most obvious phenomenon is that Vietnamese language has received and Vietnamised a great amount of Han vocabulary, which is called “Han-originated lexical items”. Han-originated lexical items account for a great majority among foreign originated-Vietnamese words. During the using process, the Vietnamese have been transformed available Han lexical items to make them fit the using language habit and thinking process of Vietnamese people. Although Han proverbs are linguistic units with high fixed property, they are also changed by the Vietnamisation phenomenon when being adopted into the Vietnamese lexical system. This dissertation mainly considers the phenomena of Vietnamising Han-yue proverbs form the linguistic aspect, taking changed Han proverbs as researched objects, and analyzing to induct happened Vietnamisation phenomenon, and at the same time recognizing the primary one. Thank to this, the Vietnamisation origination and levels of Han-yue proverbs in temporary Vietnamese could be found out. An affirmation can be made from this research findings is that the Vietnamese have creatively borrowed Han lexicons. I- the writer of this dissertation- also hope that those findings would contribute to helping Vietnamese speakers in exactly using this crucial foreign-originated linguistic part.
