语言接触下发声变异研究的力作——评《白语方言发声的变异与演化》

Study of Vocal Variation under Language Exposure:Review of Variation and Evolution of Phonation in Bai

白语是我国少数民族白族的语言,主要分布在云南。白语的各种方言在基本词汇层面一致性较高,但语音存在地区差异。白语各方言中的差异,尤其是发声类型上的差异值得深入探讨,同时也因为涉及白语的系属问题而备受关注。汪锋、李煊、张小芳所著的《白语方言发声的变异与演化》就是对白语发声的来源、接触、变异和演化的专门研究。该书利用现代语音学的研究方法,以白语的发声为例,探讨语言演化的内在规律,为语言接触、语言变异和语言演化等方面的研究,提供了研究理念及方法论的借鉴。

Bai dialects is the language of Bai nationality in China,mainly distributed in the Yunnan Province.Various Bai dialects have high consistency in the basic vocabulary,but there are regional differences in pronunciation.The differences in the various Bai dialects,especially in the types of phonation,are worth in-depth discussion,and also attract much attention because of its relevance of the affliation of Bai dialects.Variation and Evolution of Phonation in Bai Dialects by Wang Feng,Li Xuan and Zhang Xiaofang is a study of the source,contact,variation and evolution of Bai dialects.Using the method of modern phonetics,this monograph takes the phonation of Bai dialects as an example to explore the internal laws of language evolution,and provides a reference for the research framework and methodology of language contact,language variation and language evolution.
