Northeastern Mandarin (NEM), a subgroup of Chinese varieties that is spoken in Northeastern China, is an ideophonically rich dialect. Its tetrasyllabic ideophones (T-Ideos) show particular markedness at the phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic level. This dissertation provides a complete phonological treatment of NEM. In Chapter 3, phoneme inventory of NEM was explored with detailed comparisons between NEM and Standard Chinese. In Chapter 4, NEM T-Ideos were closely examined in terms of their phonological markedness and typology. Following previous research on the classification of Standard Chinese, four major types of ideophones AABB, ABAB and ABCD are analyzed; ABA'B' type is hypothesized in this dissertation. ABCD type ideophones display less phonological duplication yet share a common structure of combining a morpheme unit which represents the 'theme' meaning plus an ideophonic unit that depicts the sensory imagery of the word. In Chapter 5 and 6, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic functions of NEM T-Ideos are examined through examples, with the aim of demonstrating the syntactic flexibility that is peculiar to these ideophones, and special pragmatic usage of ideophones in real-life NEM contexts. At the end of this dissertation, 248 T-Ideos were documented from the field and massive archived documentations including skits and sitcoms, and compiled into a dictionary that is attached as an appendix.
