本研究旨在探討中文報紙夾用臺語之現象，從社會語言學的觀點分析臺語
在報紙標題裡的功能及國臺語夾用與社會變遷之互動影響。語料採自１９
８７至１９９１年間國內三家報紙--中央日報、自立晚報以及中國時報，
以隔月方式採錄夾用臺語之新聞標題。分析結果顯示，報紙標題裡國臺語
夾用的語法結構與其他根據口語之國臺語夾用所做的研究結果並無太大差
別，但其功能則出現不同程度之差異。此外，夾用臺語之多寡因版別而異
。本研究亦證實自１９８７年起，三家報紙夾用臺語大致上均呈現逐年增
加的趨勢，此一現象正反映出當前臺灣社會的語言使用情形和語言生態演
化趨勢。

This study is aimed at investigating the mixing of Taiwanese in
the Mandarin newspaper headlines basically from a
sociolinguistic perspective. Data are collected from three
national newspapers, viz. the Central Daily, the Independence
Evening Post and the China Times, every other month from 1987
to 1991 so as to derive the socio-political implications of
code-mixing. The present study also intends to examine how the
Taiwanese elements are mixed into the headlines and what
functions they carry in the headlines. Given the data, it is
found that the mixed Taiwanese expressions are mostly
represented by the Chinese characters, whereof some are chosen
for their ponetic similarity in Mandarin or Taiwanese. The
results of the study indicate that code-mixing in the written
form (the newspaper headlines) shows little structural
difference from that in the spoken form as compared with the
findings of the other studies on Mandarin/Taiwanese code-
mixing. In terms of functions, however, there exist
differences to varying degrees. The basic departure is that
code-mixing in the written language is a marked choice, which
is used commonly for getting attention or creating a humorous
effect in the headlines. The study also confirms the tendency
of the increase of the Taiwanese mixing in the three newspapers
since 1987, irrespective of the political standpoints of each.
The findings drawn on the study may to a certain extent reflect
the language trend and usage in the contemporary Taiwanese
society.
