Abstract

There are nearly 20 words with Middle Chinese onsets s- or sr- whose reflexes in modern Southeastern Sinitic (Mǐn, Southern Wú, Hakka, and Gàn) are aspirated affricates. Examples of such words include sī 撕 ‘to tear,’ sù 粟 ‘grain,’ xiān 鮮 ‘fresh,’ and xīng 星 ‘star.’ This paper reveals that there are at least four origins for these correspondence sets, three of which can be connected with Old Chinese. The remaining is a self-innovation of the ancestor of the Southeastern Sinitic group. In this sense, the reflexes of modern Southeastern Sinitic can be taken as an important additional material in the reconstruction of Old Chinese.

东南汉语tsh-与中古汉语s-或sr的多重起源-

在现代东南汉语(Mǐn、南方Wú、客家话和Gàn)中，有近20个以s-或sr为开头的词反射为送气的元音。这类词汇的例子包括:‘s´(撕)、‘sù(谷物)’、‘xiān(新鲜)’和‘xīng(星星)’。这篇论文揭示了这些对应集至少有四个来源，其中三个可以与古汉语联系起来。剩下的是东南汉人祖先的自我创新。从这个意义上说，现代东南汉语的反射可以作为古汉语重建的重要补充材料。

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.
