摘要
林语堂根据印欧语系的音读演变以及中国古音的阴阳对转情况,提出"歌戈读长ɑ,麻读短ɑ"的观点.他还根据历史语言学原则、古韵部之间的音转关系、梵汉对音的证据,提出"周秦汉魏时,鱼虞模读开o(或合o)"的见解.虽然在论述的过程中还存在不足,但他于研究材料、方法、结论皆有个人创见,为后来学者更深入的探讨提供了理论基础.
Abstract
Lin Yutang proposed the viewpoint that "歌 and戈 are pronounced as long /ɑ:/ and 麻 is pronounced as short /ɑ/". This proposition was based on the phonetic evolution in the Indo-European language family and the transformations between vowel/stop-ending and nasal-ending rhymes in archaic Chinese. Based on historical linguistic principles, the phonetic alternation between archaic Chinese rhyme units, and evidence from Sanskrit-Chinese phonetic correspondences, Lin also proposed that during the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Wei dy-nasties, "鱼,虞 and模" rhyme group was pronounced as open /o/ (or closed /o/). Despite some limitations in his arguments, Lin's research shows originality in terms of research materials, methods, and conclusions. His research has provided a theoretical foundation for subsequent scholars to delve more profoundly into this subject and explore it further.
