在中国传统俗文学中，方言歌谣占有一席之地。而属于方言歌谣支部下的方言童谣也保留了许多华人传统的习俗以及反映了人们日常生活的写照。然而，作为一种口耳相传的俗文学，方言童谣的记录方面临了严峻的困难。但鉴于方言童谣的重要性，新加坡官方、学者与民间人士已对一些新加坡方言童谣进行了记录。然而，目前新加坡方言童谣的记录零星散落各方，对于其研究也仍然不足。因此本论文收集了146 则新加坡方言童谣，并进行整理与分析，以补充现有的新加坡方言童谣研究。本论文的基本构架如下：一、阐述研究动机与目的、方言童谣的研究概况以及研究方法与取材，二、概述新加坡方言童谣的来源与价值，三、分析新加坡方言童谣的内容、形式与功用，四、总结。In traditional Chinese folk literature, traditional dialect folksongs secure a niche area. Under the tributaries of the dialect folksongs lies the dialect children’s folksong, where it retains many valuable Chinese customs and reflects the daily lives of the people. As dialect children’s folksongs were being passed down through the word of mouth, it poses great difficulty in its recording. Nonetheless due to its importance, the Singapore authority, academics and people from the society had already taken records of some of these Singapore dialect children’s folksongs. However, currently these recordings are still scattered and there are insufficient studies on it. Hence, this thesis collected 146 Singapore dialect children’s folksongs and will be categorizing and analyzing the collected data to add onto the current study of Singapore dialect children’s folksongs. The structure of the thesis will be as follows: 1) Examine the motive, aim, research overview, method and collection of materials; 2) Describe the origin and values of Singapore dialect children’s folksongs; 3) Analyze the content, form and function of dialect children’s folksongs; 4) Conclude the study on Singapore dialect children’s folksongs.
