关于“粳”字的读音问题

Pronunciation of the Chinese Character “粳”

"粳米、粳稻"之"粳"的读音,《普通话异读词审音表》及《新华字典》《汉语大字典》《汉语大词典》《现代汉语词典》《辞源》等均注为jīnɡ。但近年来,水稻专家们强烈呼吁尊重行业习惯,建议字词典将其注音改读为ɡěnɡ。我们梳理"粳"字的历史注音和现代方言材料,从多方面论证后,认为王洪君(2016)推荐的ɡēnɡ音适宜普通话,应当据以审正。

The pronunciation of the Chinese character ＂粳＂is notated as ＂jīnɡ＂in several dictionaries,such as A List of Words with Variant Putonghua Pronunciation,Xinhua Dictionary, The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Characters, The Great Chinese Dictionary,Modern Chinese Dictionary and Ciyuan（ An Etymological Dictionary of Chinese）. But in recent years,rice experts in China have strongly advocated the change of the pronunciation of ＂粳 ＂ to ＂ɡěnɡ ＂. Based on materials about the pronunciation notation of ＂粳 ＂ in history and in modern dialects,we argue that the pronunciation＂ɡēnɡ＂ proposed by Wang Hongjun（ 2016） is the most appropriate and should be promoted.
