碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 台灣文化及語言文學研究所 / 101 / “Praise/banter songs” deliver fascinating stories with rich plots, through duets
in scenes of daily life. Through sentence pattern, rhetoric and interpretation of love
song styles, the audience experience lively scenarios. “Praise/banter” are based on
realistic descriptions on ways of the world and delivers the beauty of popular
literature. Their concise spoken language expresses artistic quality of sound and sense.
They are not only text of singing and telling, but excellent teaching material for
promoting cultural learning. There are few devotees still actively pushing for
preservation of the heritage. They not only open course and teach in schools and
communities, but even contact local radio networks. They hope to find a stage for
these national treasures and children as well as adults will be actively involved in the
development and preservation of the heritage.
This thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 includes the introduction,
research methods, and literature review. I interviewed 16 praise/banter song singers in
Jiaoxi, Yilan, and then did some linguistic analyses of the recorded songs. Chapter 2
first explores the relationship between praise/banter songs and tea-making industry.
Through linguistic analyses, many praise/banter songs recorded in Jiaoxi are full of
pronunciation and diction of local color. Also, of all the types of rhyme schemes,
74.52% are monorhyme (AAAA), which proves that praise/banter singers rhyme their
songs in the similar way naturally. During the fieldwork, a lady singer was found to
have recorded the songs in pictures, which is similar to the Dongba symbols, a system
of pictographic glyphs, and worthy of studying both in the aspects of folk literature
and writing system. Chapter 3 introduces the song of "dragon boat racing." I consider
that this song is suitable to being used as teaching materials in elementary school, for
it emphasizes the sportsmanship and teamwork and can motivate more enthusiasm
from students and make them love their homeland more. Chapter 4 describes the
process of teaching the song of "dragon boat racing" in the class of the elementary
school native language education. This praise/banter song teaching is conducted at
one class from the third grade and another class from the fourth grade. During the five
weeks, each session was incorporated with lessons on vowels, diphthongs, nasal tones,
and consonants, as a preparation for rhymes and praise/banter songs. Chapter 5 is the
conclusion of this thesis: through the fieldwork, it is found that the Tsiang-tsiu
(Zhangzhou) accent is preserved well by the native speakers in Yilan. Besides, special
local custom and tradition can be seen via the content of these praise/banter songs.
Moreover, during the process of teaching the praise/banter songs to the children, I am
surprised at their unlimited potentials both in learning and creating.
Taiwanese preserves in particular a lot of ancient pronunciations and tunes, as
well as classical phrases and colloquial proverbs. It is all-inclusive and full of
diversity. To motivate more enthusiasm from students, it is productive and effective to
incorporate in to teachings with proverbs, slangs, riddles, nursery rhymes, tongue
twisters and riddles. From the result of my teaching experiment, I think praise/banter
songs are also a good material. As long as they are promoted properly, I believe that
the achievement will also be promising.
