从垫江话半个世纪以来的语音变化看汉语方言语音演变规律

本文从共时和历时两个层面考察半个世纪以来垫江话的语音变化情况,归纳其演变模式,并从语言内外两方面探讨影响语音演变的原因。文章进而指出:就一个具体的现代汉语方言点而言,共时音变可以存在向普通话靠拢的趋势,也可以存在背离普通话的趋势;语音演变模式可以是成系统的变化,也可以是单个的、零散的变化,可以以音位为演变单位,并可类推,也可以以词为演变单位,在词汇层面逐个扩展。

Phonetic Change Laws of Han Dialects： As Exemplified by Phonetic Evolution of Dianjiang Dialect in Last 50 Years

On both synchronic and diachronic dimensions this paper investigates the phonetic changes of Dianjiang dialect in the last half century. On the basis, a mode of its evolution is summarized and the internal and external reasons for the evolution are explored. It is pointed out that for a specific dialect of modern Chinese the language undergoes synchronic phonetic changes both assimilating and dissimilating the mandarin language; its mode of evolution can be systematic or individual and sporadic; the changes may take place by unit of phoneme and thence modeled, or by unit of lexicon and thence spread.
