The method of research on the regional dialect: Focus on Gangwon dialect

A dialect is a form of a language that is spoken in a particular area. The purpose of this paper is to consider the research method and the necessity of the regional dialect. In Chapter 2, I discuss the necessity of the dialect research as the record of the regional culture and the apprehension of language phenomenon. Based upon this premise, the research method of regional dialect is argued in chapter 3. In 3.1 on the subject of the dialect survey and systematization, I will analyze the efficiency into the dialect survey of narratives and the dialect dictionary. And in ‘3.2. Optimality Theory and dialect analysis’, I try to prove that OT is a way to explain the dialect data more effectively. As a consequence, the most important of this paper is that the dialect data must be complementary to the theory of language.(Gangneung-Wonju National University)
