《萨维纳的临高语词汇》中的问题与错误

A Critical Review on Le Vocabulaire Bê de F.M. Savina

除了对临高语韵母及连读变调等无法准确辨识的系统性错误之外,《萨维纳的临高语词汇》还存在一些零星错误和问题,具体表现在标音、记词和释义等方面。其产生的原因主要有四:一是发音人提供的临高语说法不地道,解释不够准确;二是萨维纳本来记音有误,对词义也有误解;三是奥德里古尔在标音字母转换和音标辨认方面出错;四是排版时误排。至于汉语本字辨认,萨维纳和奥德里古尔都有错误。

There are both systematic and sporadic errors and problems in Le Vocabulaire Bêde F.M.Savina.The former appears in finals discrimination and tone Sandhi,which had been discussed.The latter in discussion are both in phonetic and lexical aspects,as well as misinterpretation of meaning and misrecognizing of Chinese loan words.Four reasons account for these problems and errors.1)The informant failed to give the ideal expressions and accurate interpretations of the local Bêvernacular;2)Savina sometimes mistranscripted the words and misunderstood the meaning of the words;3)Haudricourt made mistakes when converting d into z and misrecognized Savina'snotation letters in some words;and 4)A few words are misarranged by the printer.As for the misrecognizing of Chinese loan-words,both Savina and Haudricourt are responsible.
