关于日语对喉内入声音转读情况的考察

A Case Study of the On-reading of Chinese Characters with the Entering Tone of [k]

本文首先对喉内入声音的转读情况进行整理并作了详细描述,发现日语在转读喉内入声字音时,基于日语各元音本身的性质,最终选择插入的元音绝大多数情况下是/u/(占汉音的80.9%,吴音的91.5%),少数情况下选择的是/i/(占汉音的19.1%,吴音的8.5%)(《改定常用汉字表》(2010)范围内的统计)。在此基础上结合其转读的母本——中古汉语的读音,按照转读之后的前元音与入声韵部的对应情况进行分类,再进一步考察转读时的元音插入规则,得出的结论是在选择插入元音时充分遵循了元音和谐的原则。

This paper describes the On-reading of all the Chinese characters with an entering tone of [k] and finds that there are some rules when a vowel is inserted after the consonant (k)In most cases, the vowel inserted is/u/(Kan On-reading’s80.9% and Go On-reading’s 91.5%), and in other cases, the vowel inserted is/i/(Kan On-reading’s 19.1% and Go On-reading’s8.5%)(in the range of the Revised Joyo Kanji Table). The author analyzes these rules by investigating the classifications in ancient rhyming dictionaries and the imitated ancient pronunciations of all the Chinese characters with the entering tone of [k].The paper concludes that vowel-harmony is still a dominant principle when inserting vowels.
