女真语文“狮”综考

An Integrated Study of the Jurchen Terms Concerning“Lion”

本文整理了阿尔泰语系的“狮子”系列语汇在亚欧大陆辐射开来的语言接触与传播概貌。文章在汇集亚欧大陆上这一系列“狮子”语汇时,首先全面梳理了女真语中的“狮子”语汇系列及其研究历程,在尽可能搜罗殆尽相关语料的基础上捋清这些语汇的源流关系和嬗变脉络,最后重新构拟了现存材料反映的女真语“狮”“狻猊”“麒麟”的可能语音形式。

The contacts and spreads of the Altaic terms for"lion"in Eurasia are studied as an integrated whole in this paper.Based upon the collection of those terms as such,the first approach is to the previous progress of studying the Jurchen terms concerning"lion";then,a clear sophistication on their sources and courses and evolving tracks as well is made owing to diverse multilingual proofs and some rational derivation;finally,a renewed reconstruction of"lion","spān ní(lion cub)",and"kilin"reflected in the extant Jurchen records is completed phonetically.Such a Jurchen lexical series is indicative of certain most severe allophony in the Altaic terms for"lion".
