万荣方言两字组连读变调和轻声--兼谈山西方言重轻式两字组轻声调值的类型

Bi-syllabic Tone Sandhi and Neutral Tone of Wanrong Dialect,Shanxi Province

本文讨论万荣方言两字组连读变调和轻声,兼谈山西方言重轻式两字组轻声调值的类型。万荣方言一般两字组中,非叠字组和叠字组共有七种变调形式。轻声调值分为两种情况:一类读音轻短;一类重读,调值(?)33。调位中和与读音轻化是山西方言重轻式两字组轻声演变的两种主要方式,有五种不同的类型。尽管从声学角度看,山西方言重轻式两字组中一些后字的读音不符合普通话轻声的某些语音特点,但仍应看作音系学意义上的轻声。

The paper discusses bi-syllabic tone sandhi and neutral tone of Wanrong dialect in Shanxi province, and introduces the patterns of ＂stressed-unstressed＂ bi-syllabic tone sandhi of Shanxi dialects. In Wangrong dialect, hi-syllabic tone sandhi has seven patterns while neutral tone features two styles： light-short or stress with middle level. Neutralized and light-shorted tones are the two main changes of the ＂stressed-unstressed＂ hi-syllabic tone sandhi in Shanxi province, which has five patterns. Different from the case in Putonghua in the phonetic perspective, the neutral tone value of the ＂stressed-unstressed＂ tone sandhi in Shanxi dialects is a phonological neutral tone.
