三等韵腭介音上古来源问题综论

Review on the Origin of the Palatal Medial of Division Ⅲ Finals

三等韵腭介音的上古来源问题是近年来汉语上古音研究中存在较大争议的问题。文章在赞同三等腭介音后起说的立场上,对各家关于上古三等韵与非三等韵的语音区别及三等腭介音产生、演变过程的研究进行梳理。综合各家意见,上古三等韵为常态音节,非三等韵为咽化音节的观点更具解释力。

In recent years,there is a lot of controversy on the origin of the palatal medial of Middle Chinese division Ⅲ finals. On the basis of the point that the palatal medial in Division Ⅲ finals is secondary origin, this paper reviews the studies on the phonetic distinction of Division Ⅲ and non-DivisionⅢ in old Chinese phonology as well as the generation and evolution of palatal medial of Middle Chinese Division Ⅲ. Synthesize various opinions,we agree that the phonetic distinction between Division Ⅲ and non-Division Ⅲ in old Chinese is on the whole syllable. Division Ⅲ has plain syllable or lax syllable,and the non-Division Ⅲ has pharyngealized syllable or tense syllable.
