《声音文字通》声类考

Discussion on Initial Categories of "Sheng Yin Wen Zi Tong"

《声音文字通》为明初赵谦花二十载写成的一部韵学著作,在当时影响颇大,受到学界重视。原书未及板行,学者罕知。今据现存《永乐大典》所采录的资料,对其声类进行考索研究。《声音文字通》的语音混切较为繁杂,基本代表了明初北部吴语的一些语音特点。

＂Sheng Yin Wen Zi Tong＂ is a book of rhythm written by ZHAO Qian of early Ming Dynasty after 20 years＇ hard work. The book had an important effect at that time and was stressed by academe. It is rarely known as it was not printed. In terms of the material collected in ＂Yong Le Da Dian＂, this paper makes a research on its initial categories. It is found that the mixed use of phonology in Sheng Yin Wen Zi Tong is very common, which represents the phonological features of northern Wu dialect in early Ming Dynasty.
