The Relationship among Yao, She, and Hakka through Phonetic Analyses
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Orderly phonetic correspondence with Middle Chinese are found in Chinese dialects, such as Hakka, Min, and Yue, yet their phonological structure reflect traces of linguistic substrate or language contact. Contrastive phonetic analyses on Hakka, She, and Yao are the focus of this paper, historical evolution and language contact within are also attempted. The aims are to study, analyze and compare Hakka and its sub-dialects; to compare She, its variation, “She Hwa”, and its sub-dialects, then further expand to compare Yao-Mian and its related dialects.

It is claimed that ...

متن کاملOn the Structure of /iu/ and /ui/ in Sixian Hakka
Chung (1989:87) claimed that /iu/ and /ui/ are both falling diphthongs in Liudui Hakka, which is similar to Sixian Hakka, the dialect to be discussed here, in most aspects. This paper takes a partially different position that /iu/ is a falling diphthong, while /ui/ is a rising diphthong from the angles of co-occurrence restriction, rhyming and acoustic measurement. Chung (1989:121) argued that ...
