摘要
本项研究旨在解决次清分调这个长期以来困扰方言学和语音学的难题。本文考察了六位吴江松陵发音人的声学材料,发现次清分调的原因在于发声态发生了变化。次清原来和全清一样,是普通清声态,但在演化过程中产生了轻微气化的弛声态变体,从而与来自中古全浊类的弛声声母发声态相近或相同,结果大部分分离的次清调类并入了阳调类,个别分离的次清独立成调,也相当接近相应的阳调。
This paper examines six Songling speakers' acoustic data, and finds that the tonal split of voiceless aspirated syllables from voiceless unaspirated syllables results from a change in phonation modes. Voiceless aspirated syllables, just like their unaspirated counterparts, were originally produced with plain voice. In the course of language evolution, they have developed slack voiced (weak breathy voice) variants, and thus sound like the 'voiced' syllables, which actually have voiceless initial consonants with slack voice. Accordingly, the pitch of those aspirated syllables with changed phonation mode has split from the voiceless tone categories, and gone to 'voiced' tone categories.
