闽东方言“秋韵”与“烧韵”的分合和演变

The Split-Merge and Evolutionary Paths of the “Qiu Rime” and “Shao Rime” in Eastern Min Dialects

摘要: 闽东方言“秋韵”和“烧韵”自《戚林八音》后发生了剧烈音变，这两韵主要经历两个音变：一是“秋韵”与“烧韵”合流，二是以调类为条件的松紧变韵。由于两个音变在不同方言中时间次序不一致且音变过程相互交织，导致“秋韵”和“烧韵”的分合格局混合且复杂。文章以是否发生这两类音变为标准进行划分类型，逐类深入探讨，构拟“秋韵”和“烧韵”的演变路径。

Abstract: Since the Qi Lin Ba Yin, the Qiu and Shao rimes in Eastern Min dialects have undergone drastic phonological changes. These two rimes have mainly experienced two phonological shifts: first, the merger of Qiu and Shao rimes; second, the tense-lax rime alternation conditioned by tone categories. Due to the inconsistent chronological order of these two shifts and their intricate interactions across different dialects, the split-merge patterns of the Qiu and Shao rimes have become mixed and complex. Based on whether these two types of phonological shifts have occurred, this paper classifies the relevant dialectal variants, conducts an in-depth analysis of each type, and reconstructs the evolutionary paths of the Qiu and Shao rimes.
