A Study On The Special Pronunciation Phenomena Of The Initial Vowels Of Zhejiang Wu Dialect In The Mid 20th Century

Based on the phonetic part of the original corpus of "Zhejiang dialect survey data in the middle of the 20 th century",this thesisr explores the value and significance of Zhejiang Wu dialect with the initial consonants as the starting point,and adopts the method of combining description and interpretation to investigate the special pronunciation of the initial consonants of Zhejiang Wu dialect in the middle of the20 th century.In addition to the introduction,there are five chapters.Chapter I The general characteristics of the initials in Zhejiang Wu dialect.This chapter describes the initial consonant patterns and phonemic variations of the Wu dialect in Zhejiang Province as a whole.The main framework of the initial consonant system of Zhejiang Wu dialect is mainly composed of 3 sets of plosives,2sets of affricates,4 sets of fricatives and nasals,lateral and zero initial consonants,most of which are 29 initial consonants.The sound value of initial consonants is sometimes restricted by final consonants[ф β],[t∫ t∫~h d(?) ∫ (?)],[c c~h (?) (?)] 3 types of phonemic variants.Chapter II The tone separation phenomenon of Cizhuo initial and voiced initial consonants.Due to the different pronunciation methods,the evolution of Cizhuo initial often shows the phenomenon that they are not synchronized with the voiced initial consonants.The types of tone division of the Cizhuo initial consonants in the Wu dialect of Zhejiang Province are: Cizhuo initial and voiced initial are completely divided and Cizhuo initial and voiced initial are partially divided,The former can be seen in the three tones of Shangsheng,Qusheng and Rusheng,but not in the Pingsheng.The most common is Cizhuo Shangsheng to Yinshang,and the most special is Cizhuo Rusheng to Yinru;The latter can be seen in the four tones of Pingsheng,Shangsheng,Qusheng,Rusheng.This phenomenon shows that the change of Cizhuo initial has different degrees of evolution in different tone categories and different places.Cizhuo Pingsheng completely belongs to Yingshang,Cizhuo Qusheng completely belongs to Yinqu,and Cizhuo Rusheng completely belongs to Yinru only appear in the Taihu Lake dialect area.The distribution range of Cizhuo Shangsheng to Yinshang is the largest,and the distribution range of Cizhuo Rusheng to Yinru is the smallest.Chapter III The evolution of voiced initial consonants.On the whole,Wu dialect inherits the phonetic system of "Qieyun" in which the phonology is clear and turbid,but some local dialects have undergone different degrees of Qinghua.In the Wu dialect of Zhejiang Province,the local dialects where the voiced initial consonants are clearly Qinghua include Qingyuan,Taishun and Longquan.There are a few numbers in the three local dialects that are not Qinghua,and the pronunciation of the voiced initial consonants is retained.The analysis shows that there is a certain correlation between the Qinghua of the voiced initial consonants and the initial consonants and tones,From the initial consonants,voiced fricatives are the most Qinghua,followed by voiced affricates,and voiced plosives are the least;From the perspective of tone,Qingyuan dialect has the most Qusheng characters,followed by Shangsheng and Pingsheng characters,and Rusheng characters are the least;Taishun dialect has the most Pingsheng characters,followed by Qusheng characters and Shangsheng characters,and the least Rusheng characters;Longquan dialect has the largest number of Shangsheng characters,followed by Rusheng and Qusheng characters,and the least number of Pingsheng characters.Chapter IV Mixed reading of Congmu,Xiemu,Chengmu,Chongmu,Chuanmu,Chanmu.The pronunciation of the Congmu,Xiemu,Chengmu,Chongmu,Chuanmu,Chanmu in the Wu dialect of Zhejiang Province is complex.On the basis of the overall description of the current reading of the dialect Congmu,Xiemu,Chengmu,Chongmu,Chuanmu,Chanmu,this chapter selects Hangzhou,Huzhou,Ningbo,Linhai,Jinhua,Wenzhou and Lishui as representative sites for in-depth investigation.The material analysis shows that at a certain time,the Wu language Congmu and Xiemu confluence,Chuanmu and Chanmu confluence;Chongmu and Congmu have different phonetic values in the early Wu dialect.In addition,Chuanmu,Chanmu are more fricative spoken words in the southern Wu dialect than in the northern Wu dialect;Congmu,Xiemu,Chongmu,has obvious textual color when reading affricates;Chengmu pronounces affricates in most Wu dialects,and a few of them pronounce fricatives.Chapter Ⅴ Other relevant special pronunciation phenomena.Other sporadic special pronunciation phenomena of the initials in Zhejiang Wu dialect are sorted out one by one in this chapter,including the mixed reading of the Feimu,Fumu,Xiaomu,the mixed reading of the Nimu,Laimu,the mixed reading of the Qing initials and the voiced initials,the split tone of the Ciqing initials and the Quanqing initials,and the nasalization of the Bangmu,Duanmu.
