基于语音声学模型的阿尔泰语系语言亲属关系初探

A Preliminary Study on the Genetic Affiliation of the Altaic Languages Based on the Acoustic Patterns.

本文提出用语音声学模型检验和判断语言发生学关系和类型学相似性的思路和方法,并以阿尔泰语系蒙古、维吾尔和鄂温克等三种语言的音段和超音段声学模型进行验证。初步结论为:蒙古语和鄂温克语可能存在发生学关系,而它们与维吾尔语在单词声学模型方面呈现的相似性属类型学相似性,并非同源关系。

This paper first presents ideas and approaches of applying the Acoustic Patterns to examine genetic relation and typological resemblance among languages. It goes on to check out these ideas and approaches using segmental and supra-segmental acoustic patterns of Mongolian, Uyghur and Ewenki. The main conclusions are as follows： a genetic relation probably exists between Mongolian and Ewenki, while the similarities in lexical acoustic patterns between them and Uyghur probably are typological, rather than generic ones.
