摘要
海南闽语中,来自中古次清声母的字自北而南渐次变为与塞音、塞擦音同部位的擦音,送气音消失并且表现出一定的演变顺序:先塞擦音后塞音,塞音中先舌根音,然后舌尖音,最后双唇音。从语言比较和历史资料来看,这种音变是海南闽语形成过程中与民族语言特别是临高话接触后在海南岛北部产生,并随人群迁移逐渐扩散到南部的。送气音消失是侗台语言的重要特征,海南闽语比较全面地反映了这一底层语言现象,是汉语东南方言中与侗台语言融合的范例。
In Hainanese the Ancient Chinese voiceless aspirates tend to shift toward fiicatives at the same position of articulation. This sound shift reveals the intrinsic order of shifting: first affricates, then stops; follows by stops velar first, with alveolar next, and bilabial the last. Judging from both the comparative linguistic view and the historical data, the shift is triggered by the language contact especially that of Be or Lingao language with Ancient Chinese Min dialect in the formation of Hainanese which brought about such sound shift in the northern part of the island and afterward gradually spread to the south with the migration of population. The disappearance of aspirates is a significant feature of Kam-Tai or Dongtai languages, Hainanese quite comprehensively reflected this sub-stratum which is an example of the merging of the Southeast Chinese Dialects with Kam-Tai languages. The intrinsic order of spirantization of aspirates in Hainanese is phonetically and typologically explainable.
