摘要

摘要：本文证明了原南岛语音学中一个无法解释的类型学怪癖：PAn*q，被广泛认为是一个无声的悬雍垂词尾，在台语之外很少作为悬雍垂辅音继续存在。南岛语中PAn*q的悬雍垂反射罕见：在大约1000种非台湾南岛语族语言中，只有Muna和Mapos-Buang两种语言显示出可能的*q悬雍垂反应，同时保持了该片段与*k反射之间的遗传对比。如果PAn*q是悬浮体停止语，并且在原马来-波利尼西亚语、原中央/东马来-波利尼西亚语、原中马来-波利尼西亚语、原主-马来-波利尼亚语、原南哈马黑拉-西新几内亚语和原海洋语中保持不变，为什么台湾以外的南岛语言很少有悬浮体反射*q？这里考虑了几种可能的解释，从简单的类型学解释到与声音象征和禁忌有关的文化因素。最有前途的方法是将偏离*q与元音词库的扩展联系起来。

Uvular Reflexes of Proto-Austronesian *q: Mysterious Disappearance or Drift Toward Oblivion?

Abstract:This paper demonstrates an unexplained typological oddity in the historical phonology of Proto-Austronesian: PAn *q, widely believed to be a voiceless uvular stop, is rarely continued as a uvular consonant outside of the Formosan languages. The rarity of uvular reflexes of PAn *q in Austronesian languages is striking: of the 1,000 or so non-Formosan Austronesian languages, only two, Muna and Mapos Buang, show possible uvular reflexes of *q while maintaining an inherited contrast between that segment and reflexes of *k. If PAn *q was a uvular stop, and maintained as such in Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, Proto-Central/Eastern Malayo-Polynesian, Proto-Central Malayo-Polynesian, Proto-Eastern-Malayo-Polynesian, Proto-South Halmahera–West New Guinea, and Proto-Oceanic, why are there so few Austronesian languages outside of Taiwan with uvular reflexes of *q? Several possible explanations are considered here, ranging from simple typological explanations to cultural factors related to sound symbolism and taboo. The most promising approach relates drift away from *q to expansion of the vowel inventory.

期刊介绍： Oceanic Linguistics is the only journal devoted exclusively to the study of the indigenous languages of the Oceanic area and parts of Southeast Asia. The thousand-odd languages within the scope of the journal are the aboriginal languages of Australia, the Papuan languages of New Guinea, and the languages of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Articles in Oceanic Linguistics cover issues of linguistic theory that pertain to languages of the area, report research on historical relations, or furnish new information about inadequately described languages.
