Abstract

This study examines hypermetricality and synchronic vowel elision in hiatus contexts in Eastern Old Japanese poetry, as attested in books 14 and 20 of the Man’yōshū poetry anthology. I argue that the typologically rare V2 elision is the default type of elision in Eastern Old Japanese. In contrast, V1 elision in Eastern Old Japanese is only attested in those cases where the vowel sequences [ia] or [ua] are found in hiatus. For that reason, I argue that the trigger for V1 elision is a maximal increase in sonority from V1 to V2. Cet article traite des phenomenes d’hypermetricalite et d’elision synchronique des voyelles dans des contextes de hiatus dans la poesie en japonais ancien de l’Est, attestes notamment dans les livres 14 et 20 de l’anthologie poetique Man’yōshū. Il est montre que l’elision de V2, typologiquement rare, est le type d’elision par defaut en japonais ancien de l’Est. En revanche, l’elision de V1 en japonais ancien n’est attestee que dans les cas ou les sequences vocaliques [ia] ou [ua] apparaissent dans des contextes de hiatus. Pour cette raison, il est montre que l’elision de V1 est due a une augmentation maximale du degre de sonorite de V1 a V2.

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.
