論臺灣閩南語幾個「鬆動」義語詞的本字及相關問題

The Original Characters and Related Issues of Several Words with the Meaning of“Loose”in Taiwanese Southern Min

本研究以臺灣閩南語為主要材料，結合方言、文獻，以及方言之間的觀點和音韻規則的比較研究，旨在考察臺灣閩南語中的六個詞彙「鬆動」義的漢語語源。臺灣閩南語「鬆動」義中聲母、主要元音相同但韻尾、聲調不同的lɔ6、lɔ3、lɔk8，包括文獻的考察、歷時的比較、共時的比較等觀點，不論是音韻規則對應，又或者是語義之間的連結、臺灣閩南語的聲調格局演變，都能發現lɔ6、lɔ3、lɔk8的本字皆當為「摝」。另外，本文也記載田野調查資料，說明正在發生的音變情形。

This study uses Southern Min as its primary material, combining perspectives from dialects, literature, and comparative studies of phonological rules among different dialects to investigate the Chinese etymology of six words in Southern Min that convey the meaning of“loose.”For words with the meaning of“loose”in Southern Min, the initials and main vowels are the same, but the codas and tones differ: lɔ6, lɔ3, and lɔk8. Through the examination of historical literature, analysis of cognate words, diachronic comparison, and synchronic comparison, this study finds that both phonological correspondences and semantic connections, as well as the tonal evolution in Southern Min, indicate that the original character for lɔ6, lɔ3, and lɔk8 should be“摝.”Additionally, this paper documents field survey data to illustrate ongoing phonological changes.
