摘要

关于曼谷泰语声调在过去100年里如何变化的开创性研究(Pittayaporn 2007, 2018;Zhu et al.(2015)揭示了Zhu et al.(2015)称之为“顺时针音调移位周期”的模式:低>下降>高水平或上升-下降>上升>下降-上升或低。本研究解决了三个后续问题:(1)在曼谷泰语中看到的音调变化是否也在其他语言中得到证实?(2)还有哪些声调变化在多种语言中重复出现?(3)哪些语音偏差最有可能是报告变化的来源?对45种汉语、台加泰语、苗族语和藏缅语的52项声调变化研究的类型学回顾表明，顺时针变化是迄今为止最常见的。本文最后探讨了音调截断(Xu 2017)如何产生与历时模式相匹配的共时变化;这表明截断是声调变化的关键机制。

Crosslinguistic trends in tone change

Ground-breaking studies on how Bangkok Thai tones have changed over the past 100 years (Pittayaporn 2007, 2018; Zhu et al. 2015) reveal a pattern that Zhu et al. (2015) term the “clockwise tone shift cycle:” low > falling > high level or rising-falling > rising > falling-rising or low. The present study addresses three follow-up questions: (1) Are tone changes like those seen in Bangkok Thai also attested in other languages? (2) What other tone changes are repeated across multiple languages? (3) What phonetic biases are most likely to be the origins of the reported changes? A typological review of 52 tone change studies across 45 Sinitic, Tai-Kadai, Hmong-Mien, and Tibeto-Burman languages reveals that clockwise changes are by far the most common. The paper concludes by exploring how tonal truncation (Xu 2017) generates synchronic variation that matches the diachronic patterns; this suggests that truncation is a key mechanism in tone change.
