Abstract
Compared with dou in Mandarin, dou in Kaifeng dialect shows a higher frequency of use and reflects a richer diversity of usages. The investigation finds that dou in Kaifeng dialect has two pronunciations of, i.e. dou k1 [təu33] and dou k2 [təu214]. Among all the usages of dou k1, four of them correspond to that of dou in Mandarin, one demonstrates a unique feature, and the rest of the usages of dou k1, together with that of dou k2, largely correspond to that of jiu in Mandarin. This new collection of data can shed light on the study of dou in Chinese.
