《二十三母土音表》及其反映的200年前的宁波方音

The Chart of Native Twenty-three Initial Consonants(二十三母土音表)and Its Reflected Ningbo Dialectal Accent 200 Years Ago

《二十三母土音表》是清中后期宁波人吴善述编撰的反映宁波方音的等韵表,不过尚未引起学界的关注。该表的音系具体包括28个声母、41个韵母、8个声调,再现了200年前的宁波方音,尤其是在声、韵方面的16条语音特征为构建宁波方音史乃至吴方音史提供了珍贵的文献资料。

The chart of native Twenty-three initial consonants(二十三母土音表),an equal-rhyme chart which reflects the Ningbo dialectal accent,was written by Wu Shanshu,a native speaker of Ningbo in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.This study,however,has not drawn much attention in academics.The phonetic system represented in the chart specifically includes 28 initial consonants,41 vowels and 8 tones,which embodies the Ningbo dialectal accent of 200 years ago.In particular,the 16 phonetic features of the onsets and rhymes provide precious documental materials one can use for the study of the history of the Ningbo dialect and the Wu dialect.
