19世纪中期贵阳方言语音研究——以《西语译汉入门》为依据

A Study on the Phonology of Guiyang Dialect in the Mid-19th Century

《西语译汉入门》是一本供外国人学习汉语用的词典,作者是清咸丰、同治年间在黔法国传教士童保禄。目前尚未发现有早于它出版的西人记录中国西南官话的文献。本文认为该词典记录的是19世纪中期的贵阳方言。根据它的罗马字注音,整理出它所记录的贵阳方言音系并进行研究,探讨其语音变化,并强调它的语言史研究价值。

Dictionnaire Francais–Latin-Chinois de la langue mandarine parlée(《西语译汉入门》)was written for foreigners to study Chinese, by the French missionary P. Hubert in Guizhou during years of Xianfeng and Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. No earlier document written by West people has been found recording Southwest China Mandarin. The paper argues that the language it records was Guiyang dialect in the mid-19 th century. The paper sorts out the phonetic system of Guiyang dialect recorded by the dictionary, and researches it based on the Roman alphabets. The paper also emphasizes the researching value of the dictionary on language history.
