烟台方言连读变调研究

The Study of Tone Sandhi in Yantai Dialect

烟台方言具有两种不同的连读变调形式。在两字组中,最后一个音节的声调保持不变,而首音节的声调遵循字调变调规则发生连读变调,在所有的两字组组合中四种组合发生连读变调。在三字组中,末尾音节的声调依然保持不变,而首音节和第二音节声调,受到尾音节声调的同化作用,遵循词调变调规则发生连读变调,所有的三字组组合都统一按照末尾音节声调的类型发生相应的连读变调。这种现象印证了词调变调与字调变调是语言发展过程中两个不同阶段的理论。

This paper discusses tone sandhi in Yantai Dialect and the coexistence of two types of tone sandhi in this dialect.In the disyllabic sequence,the last tone remains,but the initial tone changes correspondently.Most disyllabic combinations that undergo tone sandhi are under the influence of OCP.And in the trisyllabic sequence,the last unchanged tone conducts a massive neutralization influence on the former two syllables.All the trisyllabic combinatory possibilities with the word-levelled tone-bearing units undergo tone sandhi,neutralized to three sandhi forms corresponding to the last syllables.The phenomenon that two types of tone sandhi show in one dialect proves that the two types of tone sandhi are the different phases in the language development.
