On Phonetic Signs of“Phonetic-adding Phonogram”in the Warring States Period

战国文字在原有形体的基础上增加声符,孳乳产生新的形体的现象时有发生。从出土文献看,战国文字注音形声字所加注的声符与原字之间的语音关系比较密切,而且有明显的规律性。战国文字大量注音形声字的产生应该是由于原字语音发生了变化,从而对原字加注声符以利于更好地标示读音。

In the Warring States period(B.C.475-B.C.221),it is common to add phonetic signs to a original character to form a new character which can be called phonetic-adding phonogram.On the basis of the unearthed literature,the phonetic signs of phonograms are higly related to the original characters in terms of their pronunciations and have obvious regularity.As the pronunciations of the original characters change,the phonetic signs were added to the original characters to mark their pronunciation,which generated great numbers of phonetic-adding phonograms in the Warring States period.
