摘　　要：Mandarin mingled by Cantonese is a phenomenon of Mandarin variation.This paper adopts heterogeneous words to explore its specific performances within the context of Mandarin by investigating 21 cities in Guangdong Province of China,and applies the average ratio of heterogeneous words to measure the variation degree of Mandarin influenced by Cantonese.The statistical results suggest that language variation is mainly reflected in pronunciation,vocabulary and grammar,especially in pronunciation.Variation can be found in all kinds of parts of speech,mostly nouns,verbs and adjectives.Furthermore,there is a certain internal correlation between variation and residents’individual characteristics:the elder,less educated and rural resident,the more serious the variation is;and male is more prone to variation than female.Additionally,the degree of variation varies greatly from city to city.The Mandarin level in Shenzhen and Dongguan is much higher than that in Yunfu and Jieyang,which is closely related to the level of regional economic development.
