Abstract

This paper looks at the history of Tosu using 'forward reconstruction'. It concludes that Proto-Ersuic changed *-im to *-am already before its breakup as a unity, but the ‘brightening’ of *-a- to -i- took place independently in Tosu and Lizu-Ersu. In Tosu this brightening did not target labial (or velar) initial words lacking an inherited medial *-j-. A number of changes in the history of Tosu probably preceded brightening, namely *-um, *-ak > -o and *-u, *-it, *-at, *-ra > -e. In contrast, the change *-e- > -i- in Tosu, of unclear conditioning, appears to be quite late. A dissimilation *CeCe > CeCa is potentially also a recent change.

关于原始Ersuic的两个注记

本文使用“正向重建”来回顾Tosu的历史。它的结论是，Proto-Ersuic在分裂之前就已经将*-im改为*-am了，但*-a-到-i-的“明亮”在Tosu和Lizu Ersu中独立发生。在Tosu中，这种增亮并没有针对缺乏遗传内侧*-j-的唇（或velar）首字母。Tosu历史上的许多变化可能发生在增亮之前，即*-um，*-ak>-o和*-u，*-it，*-at，*-ra>-e。相比之下，Tosu中不清楚条件反射的*-e->-i-变化似乎已经很晚了。异化*CeCe>CeCa可能也是最近的变化。

期刊介绍： The Cahiers is an international linguistics journal whose mission is to publish new and original research on the analysis of languages of the Asian region, be they descriptive or theoretical. This clearly reflects the broad research domain of our laboratory : the Centre for Linguistic Research on East Asian Languages (CRLAO). The journal was created in 1977 by Viviane Alleton and Alain Peyraube and has been directed by three successive teams of editors, all professors based at the CRLAO in Paris. An Editorial Board, composed of scholars from around the world, assists in the reviewing process and in a consultative role.
