阳新方言古去声促化现象初探

On Ancient Falling-tone Relaxation for the Variation in Yangxin Dialect

中古去声字在阳新方言中的演变有两个方向:一是多数去声字与阴平合流,二是少数去声字读入声,即去声促化现象。文章揭示了阳新方言去声促化这一现象。并从上古长入声字的保留、中古入声的继承、变读入声、受搭配字词的影响等四个方面来解释"去声入化"现象产生的原因。同时对黄群建先生的"凡北京话读去声的来源于非古入声的字阳新话今均读为阴平"这一观点提出商榷。

Ancient falling-tone relaxation in Yangxin dialect evolved in two directions. Most of ancient falling-tone Chinese characters are incorporated into flat-tone Chinese characters; a small number of them are incorporated into ancient entering-tone Chinese characters,which is also called falling-tone relaxation for variation.This paper reveals this phenomenon. The cause is explored from four aspects,namely the remaining entering-tone Chinese characters,theinheritance of characters in the middle ancient times,changing into entering-tone Chinese characters,influence of collocation words.Meanwhile,professor Huang Qunjian＇s view is discussed that all falling-tone Chinese characters in Beijing dialect which do not come from ancient enteringtone is read as flat-tone in Yangxin Dialect now.
