Abstract
Many groups of the same morphemes or phrases which form distinguishable expressions similar in meaning but different in word order can be found in the Huanggang Dialect. This phenomenon reflects how the word order of some influential dialects co-exist harmoniously with the word order of the local dialect. This paper analyzes the conditions for this phenomenon and concludes that such a phenomenon can be viewed as an intermediate state resulting from changes in Chinese and the reciprocal impacts of the southern and northern dialects.
