陈澧今音学研究述略

Brief Introduction of Chen Li's Study on Phonology

陈澧的今音学研究影响很大,其今音学研究的方法、结论主要体现在《切韵考》一书中。陈澧考证《广韵》反切的方法为"系联法",通过对历代反切以及《广韵》反切的了解把握,确定了其研究的基本原则。这些基本原则利于陈澧对声类、韵类的归纳分析,然而在《广韵》中,也还有很多与其原则方法相龃龉的情况。陈澧使用反切系联法将《广韵》切语上字分为40类,反切下字分为311类,得出既不同于中古36字母,又不同于平水韵206韵的声韵类系统,使人们对《广韵》的声韵类系统有了新的认识,对于进一步认识切韵性质具有重要意义。此外,陈澧在《切韵考》一书中,也提出了许多关于音韵学及音韵研究的重要观点和看法,对于全面深入了解古代音韵学研究具有重要意义。

The study of Chen Li on phonology has great effect. His way and conclusion is mainly reflected in his book called Qieyunkao. The way of Chen Li researching Guangyun for ＂fanqie＂ is ＂contact method＂. Through the understanding of ＂fanqie＂ in past dynasties and Guangyun,he established the basic principles of the study. These basic principles help him to summarize and analyze sound class and vowel category. However, in Guangyun, there are many cases discarding on the basic principles. Chen Li used the ＂contact method＂ to cut ＂fanqie -shangzi＂ into 40 classes and ＂fanqie -xiazi＂ into 311 classes ,concluded a phonology system that differed from the 36 letters in middle ages and 206 vowels in ＂Pingshui - yun＂ so that people had a new understanding on the phonology system in Guangyun. It has a great signifieance for further under- standing of the nature in ＂Qieyun＂. Moreover, Chen Li put forward important views on phonology in his book, which posses- ses important significance for deep understanding the study of ancient phonology.
