女真语和汉语音变趋同现象初探

Problems Of Syllable Codas Of Phonetic Transcriptions in Chinese Characters from Jurchen Language in Jin Dynasty

金代文献中以汉字标音记录女真语词语,其标音汉字的读音处于从中古音向近代音的过渡阶段,入声韵尾被忽略才能读出合乎女真语语音规律的发音。女真语的塞音、鼻音收尾如同日本语的促音和拨音,并不十分稳定。这种音变趋同现象对探讨女真语和汉语的语音演变过程研究具有一定的参考价值。

By contrasting some other related languages and analy- zing the syllable structure in the language, Jurchen language syllables＇ final plosives, nasals should be pro- nounced as Japanese promote tone and dial tone. There is certain significance in the discussion on the interac- tion and evolution between the Jurchen language and Chinese from medieval to modern speech.
