Abstract: The dynamic auxiliary “dao3[tau44] ” and the V-C-structured 2nd element “dao4[tau44] ” are in essence two different words in both grammatical sense and usage situation. But they pronounce the same. Their equivalentsin Beijing dialect“zhe1[tŞƐ] ” and “zhao2[ttŞau35] ” are different in both grammatical sense and usage situation; neverthless, they are different in pronunciation. Compared with Xinzhou dialect, Beijing dialect is more thorough in work division. That shows that Chinese dialects are unbalanced in their development. AndBeijing dialect develops faster.

Key words: Xinzhoudialect, “dao”, grammaticalsense
