南京方言音系百年变迁

The Phonological Changes of Nanjing Dialect in a Century

本文比较了20世纪20年代、20世纪50年代、20世纪90年以及21世纪的音系描写。南京方言的语音演变比一般城市方言要快得多,其变化主要体现在声母和韵母上面,声调系统则保持稳定。传统的方言调查方法无法充分满足今天方言发展的需要,自然语料的调查应成为方言调查的重要组成部分。

This paper compares the records of Nanjing phonology in the 1920s, 1950s, 1990s and 2014. The sounds have changed in Nanjing dialect much faster than in other urban dialects. The changes are more significant on initials and finals, while the tone system is kept stable. The traditional method of investigation can no longer meet the needs of the development of dialects today, so the recording of spontaneous speech should become an important component in the research of dialects.
