彝语和布依语ABAB式四音格音节和谐律对比研究

The Contrastive Study on Syllabic Harmony Rules of the ABAB-style Tetrasyllabic Words in Yi and Bouyei

四音格是由四个音节按一定的结构规则组合起来的特殊词汇单位,其中ABAB式四音格的语音联绵关系比较明显。根据样本库对比分析显示,彝语和布依语ABAB式四音格绝对数量差异较大,在音节间的元音组配分布、声调组合方式和辅音组配分布三个方面都受到特定音节和谐律的支配和调控,体现出各自的特点,显然与具体语言及其音系格局密切相关。

As a special type of lexical units, the tetrasyllabic words are composed of four syllables combined in a certain structure rules, among which the phonetic relationship of ABAB-style tetrasyllabic is more obvious. According to the contrastive analysis of the sample database, the absolute numbers of the ABAB-style tetrasyllabic words are not quite the same in languages of Yi and Bouyei, and subject to specific syllabic harmony rules in respects of the match of vowels, tones and consonants, the ABAB-style tetrasyllabic reflect their own languages＇ characteristics, which is obviously related to the specific languages and their phonological patterns.
