香港粤语塞擦音、擦音声母的音变考察——以三十年来香港粤语歌词为例

A Research on the Fricatives and the Fricative Consonants of Hong Kong Cantonese——A Statistical Analysis of Cantonese Songs in the Past Thirty Years

近三十年来,香港粤语的语音面貌较之于广州粤语发生了一些明显变化,其中之一就是香港粤语在圆唇韵母前的塞擦音、擦音声母的舌叶化特征愈加显著,甚至到了21世纪初期,在一些语言使用者口中出现了近似于舌尖-龈后音的发音特征。通过对三十年来香港粤语歌词中这组声母读音的考察,试图揭示其变异的规律、特点,并着重说明这种音变现象的性质和根源,性别因素在该现象中的重要作用,塞擦音和擦音的音变在香港粤语中的表现差异。

In the past thirty years,the phonetic features of Hong Kong Cantonese have changed a lot compared to Guangzhou Cantonese.The most evident change is the sound change of affricates and fricative consonants.The three initials changed to typical lamino-alveolar before rounded vowels.They were even changed to apical post-alveolars,in the early 21st Century.This article analyses the group initials in Cantonese songs of Hong Kong and tries to reveal the next three questions:the first one,this phonetic phenomenon may has been traced to the 1970's or even earlier;the second,the important roles of sex factors;the last,the distinction between the affricates and fricatives in the sound change.
