Speech sound of Hu-Si village in PongHu has such characteristics:
1. Pronounce O as IO.
2. /ə/ vowel in Old Chuan accent.
3. Yin-shang tone turn to Yang-ping in tone sandhi.
The three characteristics changed gradually by the conversion of life style, the convenient transportation and influential mass media. The purpose of this research is to study the mutational situation of the three characteristics.
There’re many factors that influence speech mutation. This research did survey according to different age and sex, and we found are followed：
1. In the vowel /IO/：
A. The /IO/ decreased gradually as the decreasing of age group. Teenagers of fifteen to nineteen rarely pronounce /io/ particularly.
B. The /io/ in different sex doesn’t have prominent difference.
2. In the vowel /ə/.
A. /ə/had changed to /e/ or /ue/, however /e/ is pronounced more.
B. We can hardly find /ə/ pronounced in youths of twenty to thirty-nine and teenagers of fifteen to nineteen.
Female changed faster than male, especially teenager female of fifteen to nineteen.
3. In tone sandhi Yin-shang tone turn to Yang-ping.
A. It was pronounced Yang-ping tone mainly, however there was a tendency to Yin-ping tone, especially female of fifteen to nineteen.
The three situation of speech mutation is the phenomena of lexis diffusion. /io/and /ə/ vowels diffused early, most of them had come to the step of V4. The tone sandhi of Yang-Shang most were in V1 step.
Beside the important factors of different age group and sex, other social factors that influence the speech mutation are:
1. People of Peng-Hu are tolerate to languages, however had tendency to depreciate speech sound of their own.
2. The decreasing of ability South-Min dialect in teenagers fifteen to nineteen is mainly because of Mandarin eduation.
3. Beside the inner structure and outer social factors of speech, the most important concern is the reflection of speakers toward the speech consciousness, such consciousness reflection was most obvious in /io/ vowel.
Language has practical values but also is the infusion of feelings. When there’re conflicts between its practical value and feelings, we hope people should keep comparable identification to dialects of our own. Language beauty is in its local characteristics.
