A Study on Haikou Phonology / 海南海口方言音韻研究

碩士 / 國立暨南國際大學 / 中國語文學系 / 96 / This paper deals with Hai-kou phonology from synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and compares it with Southern Min subdialects. We find that there are some special phonetic features. For example, there are no -ik/-iŋ finals in the phonological system, it may be a significant systematic gap. The initial system essentially remains and corresponds with the traditional Fifteen initials. Due to the sound changes of voiceless initials /p‘/ to /f/; /ts‘/ to /s/, the voiced /b/ shifted to /v/; /dz/ shifted to /z/ parallel.
Moreover, the back vowel *// in middle Chinese Qie-yun system has a tendency to become a back vowel /o/, the vowels of rhymes Yang、Tang、Ge、Ge and Hau tend to become /o/. Some alveolar endings /n/ of the Shan rhyme group become velar /ŋ/, the low vowel /a/ precedes /ŋ/, while the high vowels /i/、/u/ precede /n/. We could formulate the rule as follows:n→ŋ / [+low]ˍ #
→n / [+high]ˍ #
Generally speaking, Hai-kou dialect is certainly a branch of Southern-Min dialect. Besides, it is most related to Chau-zhou、Shan-tou dialects rather than Quan-zhou、Zhan-zhou dialects. And according to the phonetic features it should be defined as a distinct subdialect named "Hai-nan subdialect" or "Quong-wen subdialect."
