摘要

本文從語法化輪迴的架構探討大田後路話小稱詞語音及語義的變化，發現大田後路話的小稱變韻是鼻音尾-n加綴造成元音音變進而引發元音趨同，小稱變調則經由音節節縮產生。音變小稱在語義上已傾向泛指，新一輪迴的加「囝」[kĩ53]小稱也已發展出相當虛化的用法。大田後路小稱詞在語音及語義的變化與鄂東方言、晉語及吳語許多方言點有跨方言的共象，也顯示小稱詞在音段與超音段的演變有平行的發展階段。

The paper discusses phonological and semantic changes of diminutives in Datian Houlu Hua in the framework of grammaticalization cycle. It shows that diminutive rime change is triggered by -n suffixation, which may result in vowel change and vowel convergence, and diminutive tones are produced through syllable contraction. Semantically, rime-changed diminutives have genetic reference, and the other newly introduced diminutive suffix ”kĩ53” is also grammaticalized to certain extent. Diminutives in Datian Houlu Hua share cross-dialectal characteristics with those in eastern Hubei, Jin and Wu dialects, and they also demonstrate that diminutives have parallel stages in segmental and suprasegmental development.
