粤东闽南语的分群

Subgrouping of Southern Min Dialects Spoken in Eastern Guangdong

本文采集潮阳、惠来、陆丰和海丰四个闽南语语料,再加上两个传统福建闽南语代表—泉州和漳州语料,以共同闽南语系统(Common Southern Min:CSM)作为参照,严格确认韵母合并、调类合并和词汇创新等20项音韵创新。基于这些共同创新项,利用Camin-Sokal算法,为这六种闽南语进行分群。结果发现:泉州闽南语和潮阳、惠来闽南语为同一群;学界一直以来认为属于'潮汕片'的陆丰和海丰闽南语,应当归属漳州片。本文揭示了粤东闽南语与福建本土闽南语的历史渊源。

This study focuses on four Southern Min dialects spoken in eastern Guangdong, namely Chaoyang, Huilai, Haifeng and Lufeng, and two traditional Fujian Southern Min dialects: Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. This study applies subgrouping to classify these six dialects based on Camin-Socal algorithm. The study begins with a Common Southern Min system. On the basis of this Common Southern Min system, 20 shared innovations that constitute criteria for subgrouping are identified. These 20 shared innovations include phonological mergers and lexical replacements. The results of subgrouping show that 1) Quanzhou and Chaoshan Southern Min should be classified into a same branch; 2) Haifeng and Lufeng dialects, which are treated as Chaoshan dialects in previous studies, should be placed under the Zhangzhou branch. This study sheds new lights on the historical relationship between Southern Min dialects spoken in eastern Guangdong and Fujian Southern Min.
