透定二母今读晓匣的考察

An Investigation on Initials of Tou(透) and Ding (定) Pronounced asThat of Xiao (晓) and Xia (匣) in Modern Dialects

论及古代江西方言,学者倾向于认为没有什么特色。考察透定母字部分读如晓匣母擦音这一特殊音变,发现它们是上古乃至更早时期江西方音在现代方言中的保留。由此推断古代江西境内的方言很有特色并影响过周边地区。

The scholars tend to think that there is no distinguishing features in ancient Gan dialects.But it is found out that the ways that the initials of Tou （透） and Ding （定） pronounced as that of Xiao（晓） and Xia （匣） are originated in ancient times or in even more remote period in Jiangxi, which exists in modernancientdialects when we investigate the special phonetic change. From this, we deduce that the dialects in Jiangxi have ever been characteristic and influential.
