轻声音高模式的特性——以南京方言轻声和入声音变为例

Characteristics of Light Sounds and Pitch Pattern——A case from the tone sandhi of light sounds and entering tone in Nanjing dialect

南京方言的"阳平+入声/轻声"组合中阳平会发生变调,变同"上声+入声/轻声"组合中的上声,于是"阳平+入声"与"上声+入声"连读调式相同,但"阳平+轻声"却与"上声+轻声"调式不相同,这是因为轻声连读调模式不同于非轻声连调模式。轻声音高模式具有特殊性。汉语轻声依据音高模式,可预测其调值。

In Nanjing dialect, there is a tonal modification of yangping in the compounding of ＂yangping ＋ entering tone/light sound＂, as the same modification as that of ＂rising tone ＋ entering tone/light sound＂, so following the logic, it is same linking mode between ＂yingping ＋ entering tone＂ and ＂rising tone ＋ entering tone＂, but different mode in ＂yingping ＋ light sound＂ and ＂rising tone ＋ light sound＂. The result comes from the difference of light- sound linking mode and non -light -sound one, so light -sound pitch pattern has its features. The light sound in Chinese can be predicted in its tone pitch according the pitch mode.
