碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 台灣語文學系 === 102 === This study used the spontaneous speeches of 8 young people born in Kinmen in the 80s from the Taiwan Southern Min Spontaneous Speech Corpus to observe the performances in language contacts of Kinmen dialect with common accents and Mandarin of the young people in Kinmen. The result of this study shows that although some of these Kinmen young people's accents were influenced by the common accents and Mandarin, they could still clearly show their Kinmen accents. Especially, the Kinmen young people showed the feature of seaport central vowel in a high percentage of the -ir and -er rhymes as well as the feature of Tang-uann accent in the -ainn rhythm. Their -inn and -ue rhythms and tone sandhi of high falling tones were partly influenced by the common accents. In the accent performances of the Kinmen young people, the percentages of loss of glottal stop, voiced consonant g-, and lips ending -m/-p, which are not in the phonology, were all rather high and consistent. The most special performance was the loss of nasal ending -ien in the -iam rhythm. As for the Kinmen young people's contact with Mandarin and the common accents, most of the time they could tell the difference between the common accents and the Kinmen dialect accents. Usually it was lexcials that were influenced by the common accents. However, the influence of Mandarin was on the loss of phonetics. This condition shows that the influence of Mandarin was higher than that of the common accents.
