婺州片吴语“是何”类疑问代词的读音

On the Pronunciations of the Interrogative Pronouns of Shihe是何-Family in Wuzhou Cluster of Wu Group in Zhejiang Province

婺州片吴语中,事物疑问代词多用[dZia][da]类说法表示。其来源学界目前尚无定论。我们认为,[dZia]类为“是何”的合音,而[da]类则由[dZia]类塞化而来。不仅婺州片吴语,在邻近的其他吴语甚至徽语中也存在此类代词。文章对“是何”类疑问代词的特殊音变进行了探讨。

The interrogative pronouns are mainly[dʑia]or[da]or the like in Wuzhou cluster of Wu group in Zhejiang province,but no conclusion has so far been reached as their etymology is concerned.This paper argues that the[dʑia]-group pronouns are synaeresis of shihe是何and the[da]-group is the result of the occlusive of the[dʑia]-group.The interrogative pronouns of Shihe是何-family are used not only in Wuzhou cluster of Wu group,but also in other neighbouring Wu and even Hui group.The paper also discusses their phonetic changes.
