徽州方言は旧徽州府を中心とした地域で話される漢語方言の総称であり， 主に現在の安徽省南部に、また一部は江西省北部に分布している。2015-2016年に実施した方言調査によれば， 徽州で “雌犬”の総称を表す語形は「狗娘」、「草狗」、「雌狗」、「母狗」の四類型がある。 本稿は上述した語形の地理的分布を分析しながら徽州の歴史，文化などを結合し，「狗娘」＞「草狗」＞「雌狗」＞「母狗」という通時的変化が発生したと推定する。 また， 外部方言の影響は徽州の“雌犬”の地理的分布の形成に貢献した最も重要な原因だと言える。, The Huizhou dialect herein refers to a Chinese dialect group mainly spoken within the old Huizhou region spanning from the southern region of the Anhui Province to the northern part of the Jiangxi Province. According to field research conducted during 2015 -2016, four lexical forms are used to refer to female dog in the Huizhou dialect : gouniang狗娘caogou 草狗，cigou雌狗，and mugou母狗. This paper shows the geographical distribution of the four lexical forms cited above. Subsequently, taking into consideration the factors of history and culture, a conclusion was derived that in the Huizhou dialect, the lexical forms for female dog underwent chronological changes in the order of gouniang狗娘> caogou草狗>cigou雌狗>mugou母狗. In addition, it is believed that external dialectal influence, from outside the Huizhou area, has greatly contributed to the formation of distinct geographical distributions of these forms.
