温岭方言次浊上声归阴调的语音学成因探讨

A Phonetic Investigation into Syllables with Shangsheng Tone from MC Cizhuo Initials in Wenling Dialect,Zhejiang Province

本文对第一手田野调查获得的温岭方言录音材料进行了声学分析,发现造成温岭方言次浊上声归阴调的原因是上声是一个高调,次浊声母上声音节的发声态由原来的弛声变为张声,因此从原来的阳调中分离出来,进而归并到当时调形接近、调值更高的阴上调中。

Based on a detailed acoustic analysis of the first-hand data of Wenling dialect, this paper argues the reason for the merging of MC Cizhuoshang into Qingshang Tone in this dialect, i.e. Shangsheng tone is high and the phonation changed from slack voice to tensed one. When the loss of slack voice phonation occurred to syllables from MC Cizhuoshang, they split from Yangshang tone and merged into Yinshang, which has the same contour but a higher pitch.
