泰雅方言的音韻律

THE PHONOLOGICAL RULES OF ATAYAL DIALECTS

泰雅語羣分布在大半個臺灣的山地，包括臺北、桃園、宜蘭、新竹、苗栗、臺中、南投、花蓮等八縣，人口近六萬。這個語羣分為泰雅與賽德兩支。泰雅又分為賽考利克與澤敖利兩個方言羣。我蒐集了十多種方言的詞彙資料作為本研究報告的根據，分析這些方言的音韻系統，描述各種詞音位轉換的現象。

The Atayalic group occupies the northern half of Taiwan, covering eight prefectures (Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Nantou, Hualien and Ilan ), with a population of 54,777 (as based on Wei and Wang 1966: 5). It comprises two main languages, Atayal and Sediq. Atayal, in turn, consists of two major dialect groups, Squliq and C?uli?. I have collected extensive lexical materials for two Squliq dialects and eight C?uli? dialects for this report. The term ''Atayal'' is reserved for Atayal proper, referring only to Atayal dialects, and ''Atayalic'' for the entire group in this study. Only the phonological features of Atayal dialects are treated in this paper.
