江西湖口武山方言的连读变调

Tone Sandhi of Wushan Dialect in Hukou County, Jiangxi Province

本文描写江西湖口县武山方言的连读变调。湖口方言的连读变调比较特殊,声调和句法格式都是决定连读变调的因素。湖口方言有九个调,但只有上声、次清去、全浊去三个调才会变调,这是决定湖口方言变调的语音因素。同是上声字,但只有在动宾字组、介宾字组或动补字组中的首字才会变调,且都是变阴平调。在其他句法格式中不变调。这是决定变调的句法因素。还有一种变调也很特殊:读上声的第一人称代词"我"和第二人称代词"你"也会发生连读变调,结果是变成次清去。读阳平的第三人称代词"其"不变调。本文还指出,虽然可以把次清去和全浊去也列在变调表中,但这两个调中都只有少数字在特定句法格式中才会变调,其他字并不变调。
