The Status of Research on the Dialects over the East of Thailand in Five Decades (1969-2022)
Keywords:
research status, regional dialects, eastern dialectsAbstract
This article aims to synthesize the status of the research on dialects of the Eastern region of Thailand in a 54-year period (from 1969 - 2022). The synthesis is conducted through examination of master theses and dissertations whose data sources are dialects in the Eastern region, and the publication of these theses was between 1969 - 2022. Twenty-six research works from seven universities (Silpakorn University, Mahidol University, Chulalongkorn University, Burapha University, Srinakarinwirot University, Kasetsart University, and Taksin University) were found using the dialects as their data sources. The study fields in which dialects are used as research data sources are Linguistics, Epigraphy in the Thai Language, Thai Language, Thai Language and Literature, Educational Linguistics, and Khmer Studies. Dialects were from all seven eastern provinces (Chanthaburi, Trat, Rayong, Prachinburi, Srakaew, Chonburi, and Chachoengsao). The research works are on aspects such as phonological and morphological systems, syntactical structures of sounds, words, phrases, sentences, and meanings, relations between dialect and sociocultural context, comparative dialects; and dialectal geography for linguistic landscape purposes; however, the number of research works examining the eastern dialects are fewer than those done on dialects in other regions, and the data are rather out of date. This research may lead to further studies which reveal a greater body of knowledge about local dialects in the Eastern region of Thailand.
