吳語、江淮官話的層次分類－－以古從邪崇船禪諸聲母的讀音層次為依據

Strata Subgrouping of Wu and Jianghuai Mandarin Dialects Based on the Pronunciations of Some Initials in Middle Chinese

本文分析古從邪崇船禪諸聲母在今江淮官話、吳語的讀音層次，並參照北京官話、閩語的相關現象來看這些讀音的層次性質，進而對吳語內部各片、江淮官話內部各片作方言層次分類（分區）。本文指出漢語方言的層次分類（分區）能更好揭示漢語方言的演變歷史以及方言間的接觸及親疏關係。 This paper analyzes the sound strata of the initials 從、邪、崇、船 and 禪 of Middle Chinese in Wu and Jianghuai Mandarin, and examines their properties with reference to related phenomena in the Beijing Mandarin and Min dialects. It then classifies the internal subgroups of Wu and Jianghuai based on the sound strata in these dialects. This research finds that subgrouping Chinese dialects based on sound strata can better reveal the evolution of these dialects, as well as any contact between them and how closely or distantly they are related.
