珠江三角洲方言陰入聲受廣州話影響的演變情況

以共時比較法來對珠江三角洲地區一些有代表性方言的入聲變化作出描寫分析，藉此了解方言間的相似點、相異點與互動情形，以及弱勢方言在當地語言接觸下所產生的變化。本文發現，珠江三角洲一帶的幾個方言的入聲，在與廣州話長期而密切地接觸後，作出的一系列的調整和演變，顯示經濟和文化的發展水準是一種方言在競爭中取得勝利的根本原因，而弱勢方言正逐漸向強勢方言靠攏，展現了語言接觸對方言音系的影響。
This paper describes and analyzes the changes of the entering tone of some representative dialects in the Pearl River Delta with a synchronic comparison. It aims to reveal the similarities,differences and interactions between those dialects, and to observe the changes of the less dominant dialects as they come into contact with the local dialects. It is found that after a long and close contact with Cantonese, several dialects in the Pearl River Delta have undergone a series of changes and adjustments in the entering tone. The result shows that the level of economic and cultural development is the crucial factor in determining the success of a dialect in language competition. On the other hand, the fact that less dominant dialects are gradually moving towards the dominant dialect demonstrates the impact of language contact on dialects. Copyright © 2011 華中科技大學.
