广州话表所在和所从的“向”补证

Supplementary Evidences for [■] 向 Interpreting Location and Subordination in Guangzhou Yue Dialect

广州话中表所在和所从的[■]今习惯写作"响",它与古文献中表所在、所从的"向"一脉相承。在粤语早期文献中也常常写作"向"。表朝向的"向"原读阴去[■],转变为表所在和所从的意义后,发生语素变调而读为高升调。

The word pronounced as [ h ] , indicating location and ablative meaning in Guangzhou Yue dialect, is traditionally written as 向, which is originated from Xiang bearing the same meaning in ancient material; it is also coded as Xiang 向 in early materials of Yue dialect. The tone of [ h ] 向 expressing goal is Yinqu, and changes to a high rising tone when it turns to indicate location and ablative meaning.
