My practice of adapting use of 本字
This page is my practice of using 本字. This page is intended for my personal reference, does not represent Cantonese Wikipedia position.
Definition
- 本字：Wikipedia:粵語本字。
- 古字：以前用、而家唔用嘅中文字。
- 造字：係近代造出嚟嘅粵字。
- 借字：而家用開嘅中文字，因為個音一樣，借嚟用嘅字。
Principle
- Characters specialize and evolve through time. Example: 申→ 眒、珅、伸、 胂、紳、呻、砷
- 文字係約定俗成。
- Communication can be one or two-way. One-way communication implies author and receiver(s) while their roles fixed. Two-way communication implies at least 2 individuals who send and receive data to each others. More, communication in everyday use implies comprehensions of data from the receiving end.
- Word and text are for communication. If no one understands the text, it is not communication.
Practice
會用：
- 廣泛使用嘅（e.g. 攰、㗎、畀）。
- 冇乜拗撬嘅（e.g. 打甂爐）。
- 冇造字嘅古字（e.g. 噏（「up」））。
唔用：
- 個本字不過已經有咗現代、廣泛接受嘅用法，而家個意思同本字好唔同（e.g. 渠（佢）、忌（嘅））。
- 個本字有廣泛接受嘅用法而個意思同個字相似，不過個造字係廣泛使用（e.g. 無（冇）、來（嚟））。
- 個本字冇人識，個借字人人用、比較常用（e.g. 誃（扯））。
- 有拗撬嘅（e.g. 恁 →？咁？諗）。
- 完全冇人知你寫乜，上文下理都估唔倒嘅。
睇情況，可用可唔用：
- 個本字不過已經有好多個現代、廣泛接受嘅用法，用起嚟會令句嘢唔清楚嘅（e.g. 重）。
- 冇造字嘅古字，不過好少人識（e.g. 頭耷耷 /tau4 daap7 daap7/）。
- 冇造字嘅古字，上文下理可能估倒嘅（e.g. 撳制嘅撳、 亂噏嘅噏）。
