The Principle and Significance of Unified Standardization of Han-translated General Names — A Case Study of Zhuang-Dai Group (Article written in Chinese)

DAI Hongliang

Abstract

Some non-standardized phenomena on han-translated general names often occur. The paper taking the languages of Zhuang-Dai group for example, puts forward five principles as follows: pronunciation corresponding; unifying Chinese characters; rank order; translating the general names and specialized names separately; avoiding integrated word. It is hoped to standardize the place names of national minority from higher level. On the basis of this, the paper also elaborates the significance and value of unified standardization.

Keywords: pronunciation corresponding; unifying Chinese characters; rank order; translating the general names and specialized names separately; avoiding integrated word
