当涂吴语韵母元音的高化及后续演变

Vowel Rising and its Subsequent Changes in Dangtu Wu Dialect in Anhui Province

本文根据第一手的调查资料,旨在描写和比较皖东南当涂县境内博望、新博、吴家和湖阳大邢村四个邻近吴语的韵母系统及其演变。该片吴语身处江淮官话的包围之中,不但经历了与江淮官话类似的元音高化,同时还有与元音高化相关的后续演变,具体包括高元音[i]的舌尖化、[y]的近音化、定母字后[i]变作舌叶元音[]、舌面音声母[t]组的舌尖化、[l]和[n]在元音[i]前的自成音节化、[u]引起的声母唇颤化,以及元音高化所引起的声母锐钝分韵、介音洪细分韵等。

Based on first-hand materials from fieldwork, this paper describes the final systems of four adjacent Wu dialects in Bowang, Xinbo, Wujia and Daxing villages located in Dangtu county, Anhui province. Surrounded by Jianghuai Mandarin, these dialects undergo vowel rising like them. Moreover, a serial of internal subsequent sound changes also occur, such as apicalization of [ i] and [ y ], syllabicalization, apicalization of MC initial group Ding 定 and final differentiation resulted from acute/grave of initial and open/closed of medial.
