摘要

本文針對青少年流行語「釀子、醬子」[niaη^4 tsï] [tÇiaη4 tsï]合音現象進行研究。流行語是具區域性、時代性、團體性的語言。語言變遷時時刻刻都在發生，流行語的研究刻不容緩，探析流行語對語料整理、文化呈現等皆具正面意義。本文以語音區別特徵的選擇、組合為觀察視角。經由語音區別特徵分析，探討「釀子、醬子」合音形成過程。論者以語音發展研究論證「釀子」與「醬子」分別為「那樣子」[na^4 iaη^4 tsï]與「這樣子」[tşγ^4 iaη^4 tsï]的合音變異。
「釀子、醬子」合音變化包括省略、類同、顎化等現象。[niaη^4]（釀）、[tçiaη^4]（醬）是國語音系本有的「區別特徵」組合。但「醬子」[tçiaη^4 tsï]、「釀子」[niaç^4 tsï]的「語音」組合並非舊有詞彙，不會引起語義聯想。「釀子、醬子」[niaη^4 tsï] [tçiaη^4 tsï]為符合使發音器官經濟省力原則，且不影響詞彙辨義的語音區別特徵合音變化，是「那樣子、這樣子」[na^4 iaη^4 tsï][ tşγ^4 iaη^4 tsï]口頭語音書面化的呈現。代表著口語詞彙欣欣向榮的生命力。標新立異的青少年流行語也不盡然皆不可取，對流行語「釀子」[niaη^4 tsï]、「醬子」[tçiaη^4 tsï]的語音根源與語言歷史發展觀察，提供我們中肯看待流行語的另一個視角。
