Abstract 摘要
This dissertation analyzes two language facts. At the very beginning, based on the newly-discovered language –Daohua, this dissertation intends to analyze the deep-contacting relationship between Tibetan and Chinese from the mixing complicated levels of phonetic system, lexical system, and syntax. A typical feature of the complicated levels is the heterogeneous-conformity mechanism of lexical and syntax system. This kind of situation makes us think of that, in the historical relationship between Tibetan and Chinese, there is a kinship relation represented by the basic vocabulary, as well as there is a great typological difference. Also, it let us bethink the famous viewpoint proposed by Mantaro J. Hashimoto (1985): Tibetan is related with the Sino-Tibetan family mostly in vocabulary, but in syntax it is more close to Altaic. Based on this, then the dissertation has farther analyzed the language fact related to the viewpoint proposed by Mantaro J. Hashimoto. When we compare the fact of deep-contacting mechanism of Daohua with the correlative fact of the famous judgment proposed by Mantaro J. Hashimoto, we can find there is an astonishing similarity between the two facts above.
