摘要
汉语中的变韵多与早期的词缀“-儿”“-子”有关。为满足汉语史上的双音节音步需要,词缀“-儿”“-子”等作为一种临时凑补手段用于单音节词根,凑足双音节。随着汉语双音节词的发展、成熟以及受到语言自然音变的影响,“-儿”“-子”等慢慢失去其音步支撑作用,逐渐走向衰退。“-儿”“-子”等的衰退,会先后经过弱化、附接、并入等过程,其中并入的早期即为今天所见的儿化韵和子变韵。“-儿”“-子”前附并“化”入其前的音节,极有可能开始于其边音声化韵环节。
Most changed rhymes in Modem Chinese are closely related to suffixes - er and -zi diachronicaUy. In the history of Chinese, er or -zi was frequently added to a monosyllabic root as a temporary measure to sat- isfy the disyllabic requirement. However, with the development of Chinese and the maturation of disyllabic words, -er and -zi graduaUy lost their func- tions of disyllabification and started to fade away. This process involved weakening, adjoining, and incorporating stages. Changed rhymes are mostly found at the beginning of the incorporation, probably at the stage of the syllabic lateral.
