摘要
本项研究以新调查的侗语和吴语中的声调材料、从实验语音学角度来论证古籍中所记载的有关早期上声的语音性质。声调是从非声调因素发展而来的,这些非声调因素包括十几个语音学上的候选者。根据多项性质遇异但指向同一的证据,本文重建了早期上声的语音特征。早期上声是个"厉而举"的调形,能造成这种调形的因素只有假声,并可能附加一个喉塞尾。
This paper,with newly acquired tone data from Gaoba Kam and Wenzhou dialect, attempts to interpret the phonetic nature of the impressionistic description in classical documents from the perspective of experimental phonetics.Tone in Chinese developed from non-tonal elements,which include seven phonetic candidates:duration,intensity,initial consonants,vowels,nasal ending,phonation types,and final glottal stop.Shangsheng,or Chinese Rising Tone,in the early stage of tonal development(roughly 400-700 AD)was described as sharp and raised.It is most likely that falsetto,and possibly a final glottal stop, caused such an impressionistic description.
