Research On Sandhi Of Nanhe Dialect

Nanhe county is located at the south of Xingtai ,Hebei province, it is at the transitional areas between Jin dialects and JiLu Mandarin dialects.Nanhe dialect belongs to hanxin area in the Jin dialects .The sandhi especially the weakened variations of some grammatical elements are worth researching.The article sound as the basic tone Chengguan of Nanhe county, on the basis of field survey description of Nanhe's individual characters, sandhi tone rules, focuses on analysis the performance, characteristics and regularity of the weakened variations about the grammatical elements of suffix about"er"(儿),"zi"(子), auxiliary word"zhe(着),le(了),de(的,地,得)", location postpositions"shang(上),li(里)",the measure word"ge(个)". The dissertation has some relatively valuable conclusions:First, In Nanhe dialect, the Er-suffixation through continuous weakening achieved sound fusion (er-merging) with the former words, and form [(?)r], [ur], [(?)(?)] three groups of rolling-up Er-merging, adjust the merging degree more higher than common language.Second, The Zi-suffixation and aspect particle"zhe(着)"have the same basic sound [.t(?)],the initial are changed under the influence of final before consonants , generated three variants of [.d(?)],[.t(?)],[.t(?)].Third,There are two basic sounds about aspect particle"le(了)","zhe(着) [.lei]"in the construction"V+ zhe(着)[.lei]+Premises word", location postpositions"shang(上)","li(里)", structure particle"de(的,地,得)", they have the same change types in speech sounds, which divided into two classes: minus figurations and increase the subtleties. They have the same conditions and laws. All have to combined pronounciation development trend.Fourth,"Ge(个)"in measure phrase is light tone [.(?)] or [.(?)],there are some sound changes for exampole epenthesis, combined pronounciation and so on, when [.(?)] with former word in sentence ,after entering endings,"ge(个)"keeps its basic sound easily. Fifth,Under the control of the shift in meaning and reduction , above grammatical components form the phenomenon of sandhi convergence, The two groups of grammatical neutral tone words"zi(子)"and"zhe(着)","zhe(着)[.lei]","li(里)"and"de(的,地,得)"which have different sound in original , by historical context,become into homophone. In speech sounds, these components different performance about reduction sandhi and reductive degree , reflect the association about sandhi and historical sound change , the characteristics of continuous gradient.
