摘 要: 上古群母字部份在中古以前擦化,部份在中古以后清化,这是音韵学常识。但为什么这么变,却是以前没有问过的问题。本文以实验语音学、类型学为工具来解答这个问题。并连带着处理浊声清化、浊擦音、日母元音值等问题。本文提倡的汉语实验音韵学以普遍音变现象为考察对象,从物理、生理、心理学中的普遍原理来探索发生在汉语中的普遍音变的条件。而什么是普遍音变则是从共时类型学和反复发生的历史音变来确定的。 It is generally acknowledged in Chinese historical phonology that the Old Chinese initial consonant [*g-] changed into a voiced fricative in some words before Middle Chinese (QIEYUN, 601), and devoiced in the rest afterwards. It has never been asked, however, why these changes took place. This paper resorts to experimental phonetics and typology to explain the development in question and other related ones such as voiced fricatives, the phonetic nature of Initial RI, etc. Chinese experimental phonology, which is what this paper is pursuing, aims at exploring general principals from physics, physiology, and psychology that underlie universal sound changes happened in Chinese, which are determined by synchronic typology and diachronic recurrence.
