湘西土家语、苗语与汉语方言浊声母演变

ON the Development of the Voiced Initials in Tujia,Miao and the Chinese Dialect Spoken in Xiangx-i Autonomous Prefecture

湘西州土家语、苗语与汉语方言都有一套完整的浊声母系统。大量浊声母汉借词的进入强化了湘西土家语和苗语浊声母的语音特征,延缓了其清化进程。浊声母清化和浊塞擦音擦音化则是各自演变的产物。

There is a set of voiced initials in the three languages spoken in Xiangxi Prefecture, i.e. the Tujia language, the Miao language and the Chinese dialect respectively, the preservation of which results from mutual influence in between the three language, while on the other hand, the devoicing of voice initials and spirantization of voiced affricates in these three languages are independent developments.
