绍兴市区方音的演变

Sound Evolution in Shaoxing Urban Dialect

随着绍兴都市化进程的加快,绍兴市区的方音发生了前所未有的变化,90后的最新派音系变化尤甚。从声母来看,浊音声母开始清化,有些字的鼻音声母失落不见;从韵母来看,鼻化元音的鼻化或者弱化或者消失,同时,入声韵大量合并,从声调来看,舒声阳调类合并剧烈。与老派相比,合并与简化是音变的总趋势。

As the urbanization in Shaoxing quickens,there has been an unprecedented change m the plaonologlcat system oI onaoxmg urban dialect, especially that of the post -90s. The present paper is a detailed study of the sound changes of the dialect, covering the gradual devoicing of the voiced consonants and the loss of some nasal consonants, the weakening and the loss in the nasalization of nasalized vowels, a wide range of eoartieulation of the rhymes ending with voiceless plosives, and a radical coarticulation of the sooth- ing tones and the rising tones. Compared with the traditional phonological system ,the eoarticulation and simplification in the dialect turns out to be the general trend of sound evolution.
