儿化音对于单字音的影响——辉县、淇县方言卷舌声母的产生过程

Influence of Er(儿)-related Retroflex Finals on the Pronunciations of the Monosyllabic Root Morpheme: Rise of Retroflexed Initials in the Dialects of Qi(淇) and Hui(辉) County

儿化音在"儿"的单字音和词根单字音的基础上生成,又可反作用于单字音。基于"儿"字音和儿化音、单字音的关联,同一语音特征(如卷舌特征)可自"儿"字音贯穿至儿化音,并影响到单字音。辉、淇两县方言儿化有关的"变声"现象对于单字音系的影响说明:某些方言单字音系中卷舌声母的形成,与其卷舌特征的儿化音及儿字音都存在着密切关联。

Though derived from the combination of a monosyllabic root morpheme and a suffix morpheme Er（儿）, the pronunciation of an Er（儿）-suffixed word can also influence that of the root morpheme. With the connections between the citation forms of the suffix morpheme Er（儿）, the Er（儿） suffixed word and the monosyllabic root morpheme, such a distinctive feature as ＂retroflex＂ of the Er（儿） suffix can not only cause a retroflexed derived form of the root morpheme in its rhyme and initial, but also make it likely for the retroflexed derived form to become the new base form. Evidence from the dialects of Qi（淇） and Hui（辉） County indicates that we may explain the rise of retroflex initials in the pure phonology of a dialect, represented by the citation forms of the mono-syllabic root morphemes, by referring to the influence of such morpho-phonologieal interface facts as Er（儿）-related retroflex suffixations.
