層次與演變階段──蘇州話文白異讀析層擬測三例

Stratum vs. Stage: Three Reconstructions in the Literary and Colloquial Strata of the Suzhou Dialect

本文總結了作者在山西方言文白異讀研究中所用“析層擬測法＂的工作程序。作者強調，析層必須嚴格區分層次的早晚與演變階段的先後。基於這一觀點，運用析層擬測法，作者對丁邦新(2002)所分析的蘇州話十項文白異讀中的三項提出了不同分析。

Correctly differentiating the “literary” stratum from the “colloquial” in various Chinese dialects naturally requires the establishment of an accurate chronology of sound changes. This study describes procedures for reconstructing these two strata in the Shanxi dialects. The results presented here—bringing to bear the case of three literary-vs.-colloquial alternations in the Suzhou dialect—are at apparent odds with Ting’s 2002 conclusions in the matter.
