百年来江苏方言的语音演变

A Study on the Phonological Evolution of Jiangsu Dialects over the Past Century

百年间,江苏各市县方言发生了或快或慢、或系统或零星的变化。交界地带方言由于长期频繁的接触,出现了不同层次的竞争和叠置。本文从古知庄章与精见组声母的分合、古全浊声母的演变、古蟹止臻摄合口端知系介音的有无、古咸山摄舒声韵母格局的简化、入声的舒化等五个方面,考察江苏方言百年来语音演变轨迹,探寻其规律及成因。

Over the past century,dialects of various cities and counties in Jiangsu have undergone changes that are either rapid or slow,and either systematic or sporadic.Due to long-term frequent contact,different levels of competition and superimposition have emerged in the dialects of the border areas.This paper investigates the path,rules and causes of phonological evolution in Jiangsu dialects over the past century from five aspects:the division and combination of zhizhuang-zhang group and jing-jian group initials in Middle Chinese,the evolution of the Middle Chinese voiced initials,the presence or absence of the medial sound in duan-zhi groups of the closing category in the Middle Chinese rie-zhi-zhen rhyme groups,the simplification of the level tone rhyme pattern in the Middle Chinese rianshan rhyme groups,and the evolution of the entering tone rhymegroups.
