绍兴方言否定副词“勿”的语音变异

The Pronunciation Change of the Negative Character “Wu” in Shaoxing Dialect

绍兴方言否定副词“勿”音变现象比较特殊 ,有两种情况 :一是在语流中常与所搭配的音节发生合音 ,二是在固定结构“A(B)勿A(B)”中常常脱落 ,出现重叠反复问句形式。两种情况音变过程中的音节结构模式和变调模式均非常特殊。引起绍兴方言中“勿”变化的原因除了低浊短促的语音特色、活动能力上的粘着性再加高频率的使用以外 ,也是相关词语的音变趋同化规律作用的结果。

The pronunciation change of the negative character “Wu” in Shaoxing dialect is a very particular phenomenon.There are two cases:Firstly, it often joins the collocated syllables in the language flow;Secondly,it often drops in the fixed structure “A(B)勿A(B)”,and appears the repeated question form. In the above two cases,the model of syllable structure and the model of tone change are both particular.As to the reason why “Wu” changes,it is due to the low and unclear pronunciation feature,the cohesion in its activity ability,the high-frequency uses as well as the result of the assimilation-tendency law in pronunciation change of some relative characters.
