为了提高沟通的效率性，语言会跟随时代的进步以及不同的区域而发生变化。本文的着重点会放在马来西亚华人的日常用语上，分析语言如何在不同区域里呈现不同的面貌。 在我们的日常用语中，交际者常会用“这样”作为一个代词 、呼应上段话语的用词等作用。然而，“这样”在各个地区的日常用语中，其使用情况却并非完全相符。 在马来西亚华人的日常用语中所使用的“这样”有别于现代汉语的使用方法。前者把单位放到句末而后者则是把单位分布在语段的开头。出现在句末的“这样”一词不仅拥有与现代汉语相同的功能，它在马来西亚的用语中也自己独有的作用。 本文将会借助于所收到的语料，通过会话分析的方式去探讨“这样”在马来西亚日常用语中的作用。To increase the efficiency of communication, a language will constantly shape itself to fit the use in a real-world conversation. In this paper, we will be focusing on Malaysian Mandarin which is a regional variant of Standard Mandarin. To support this hypothesis, the paper will take on a corpus-based approach. The focus point will be analysing the function of a Chinese term zheyang used in everyday conversation by Malaysian Chinese. It has shown that zheyang is used as a sentencefinal particle in Malaysian Chinese whereas in Standard Mandarin it is placed as a sentence starter in a conversation. With the difference in sentence structuring in mind, it bounds to result in a change in the function use of zheyang.
