CREAKY VOICE AND THE DIALECTAL BOUNDARY BETWEEN TAIZHOU AND WUZHOU WU
嘎裂声和吴语台婺分界
摘要
This paper examines the linguistic affiliation of a small area of Jinhua district at the boundary to Taizhou district, Zhejiang province. The dialects used in this area are classified under the Wuzhou sub-group of Wu. According to the linguistic intuition of the informants from that narrow area, however, the local dialects are closer to the Taizhou than to the Wuzhou sub-group. Normalised fundamental frequencies of the yin-qu tone of a dialect in that area is compared with those of Taizhou and Wuzhou. It is found that the yin-qu pitch of the dialect under investigation is similar to those of Taizhou dialects. The most striking phonetic feature which the area shares with Taizhou is creaky voice associated with the shangsheng tones. Based on these findings, I suggest that the boundary between the Wuzhou and Taizhou sub-groups be moved westward to the Dapan mountain ridge and the dialects of that area be reclassified and included in the Taizhou sub-group. In addition, this paper suggests that the so-called Huangyan ＂mid-glottal stop＂ described by Chao Yuen Ren in 1928 is actually creaky voice.
並列摘要
本文考察浙江金华地区靠近台州的一小块地区的方言归属。当地的方言是归在吴语婺州片下。但是，根据当地人的语言直感，他们觉得更接近吴语台州片。我们调查了当地三个乡村的方言，发现它们有很多语音现像与台州方言接近，而不同于婺方言。例如这三处的阴去声都是高平调，与全台州的方言一致，但与它们所属的盘安县以及邻近的金华地区的方言都不一样。最引人倾耳的特征是它们与台州方言一样，上声带有嘎裂声。根据这些发现，我们建议把台州片和婺州片的方言分界往西挪到大盘山脊，把本文考察的一小片地区划归台州片。另外，本文还澄清了自赵元任以来的一个语音之谜：过去大家称为“中喉塞＂的其实是“嘎裂声＂。
