湘乡话单字调实验研究

An Experimental Study of One-Syllable-Tone in Xiangxiang Dialect

实验结果表明:湘乡城关镇话声调共有7个单字调,属于声调调类中"平声三分+上声+去声三分"的格局。次阳平和阴去的区别度不大,其余各声调能清楚区别开来。次阳平和阴去依靠声母类别不同相互区别,我们推测,次阳平和阴去调型调值相似情况不会持续太久,由于在普通话及周围方言中它们是属于不同的声调,因此为了清晰表达语义它们很可能会逐渐增大区别度。

The experimental results show that the dialect of Chengguan township in Xiangxiang City has seven one-syllable-tones,belonging to the tone category of ＂level tone trisection＋rising tone＋falling tone trisection＂.There is not a big distinction between low rising tone and Yin departing,and the rest tones can be clearly distinguished.The low rising tone and Yin departing is distinguished by the tone category,and it is estimated that the similarity in contour and tone value between low rising tone and Yin departing will not last long,as they belong to different tones in Mandarin and neighboring dialects.Thus,there may be larger distinctions between two of them in order to express the meanings clearly.
