构皮苗语声母研究

Research on the Initial Consonants of the Goupi Hmong Language

摘要: 该文基于田野调查所获得的第一手资料，以苗语川黔滇方言大南山苗语标准音为参照，对构皮苗语的声母系统进行共时描写与历时比较。调查发现，构皮苗语声母出现了小舌音丢失、舌尖后塞擦音和擦音前化，以及tl̥声母演变为ʈ、ʈh声母等演变特征。并进一步指出，其声母系统的演变是受到语言接触、语言习得等因素共同作用的结果。

Abstract: Based on the first-hand data obtained from field investigations, this paper takes the standard phonetic point of the Hmong dialect in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, the Dananshan Hmong language, as a reference, and conducts a synchronic description and diachronic comparison of the initial consonant system of the Goupi Hmong language. The investigation found that the initial consonants of the Goupi Hmong language have shown characteristics such as loss of uvular sounds, retroapical fricatives and fricative pregulation, as well as the evolution of the tl̥ initial consonant into the ʈ and ʈh initial consonants. It is further pointed out that its initial consonant system is the result of the joint drive of factors such as language contact, ethnic migration and language acquisition.
