吕梁片晋语的过渡性特征

The transitional nature of the Lüliang cluster of the Jin group in western Shanxi Province

晋语吕梁片分布在晋西和陕北的19个市县,内部分汾州小片和隰县小片。文章选取古全浊声母今逢塞音、塞擦音的白读(Ⅰ)、曾梗开口三四等舒声韵的白读(Ⅱ)和单字调系统(Ⅲ)三个音韵现象,考察吕梁片晋语的过渡性特征。认为该片晋语在特征(Ⅰ)上和晋南汾河片中原官话为一类。在特征(Ⅱ)上汾州小片和东邻的晋语并州片、五台片东部忻州等点相同;隰县小片则和汾河片中原官话相同。在特征(Ⅲ)上汾州小片和晋语五台片相同,隰县小片内部不一致。不论是音韵特征还是地域分布,吕梁片晋语都呈现出连续状态,具有过渡性特征。

The Lüliang cluster of the Jin group,consisting of the Fenzhou and Xixian sub-clusters,is spoken in western Shanxi and northern Shaanxi.This paper aims to reveal the transitional nature of the Lüliang cluster by considering three phonological aspects.The conclusions are: 1) the modern colloquial pronunciation of the MC voiced initials in Lüliang is the same as that of Central-plain Mandarin; 2) with respect to the modern colloquial pronunciation of the MC Zeng-geng groups,the Fenzhou sub-cluster is the same as the Bingzhou and Wutai clusters of the Jin group,and the Xixian sub-cluster is the same as Central-plain Mandarin; and 3)Lüliang shares the same citation-tone system with the Wutai cluster.The Lüliang cluster shows continuous and transitional nature in both phonological feature and geographic distribution.
