乡话中与普通话“子”相当的名词后缀有四种形式,分别是[■tsa]、[■tsai]、[·ts■]以及[·ti]/[·li],我们称为“子”缀及其变体。其中[■tsa]和[■tsai]是乡话中固有的语音形式,[·ts■]是受周边方言的影响产生的,[·ti]/[·li]是“子”语音演变形成的变体。几种形式在用法上各具特色,反映了其词义由具体到抽象逐步演变的语法化过程。“子”的不同形式在各乡话点的使用范围存在差异,具有一定地理语言学意义。 There are four forms of nominal suffixes in Mandarin dialect that are equivalent to Mandarin “子”: [■ tsa], [■ tsai], [· ts ■], and [· ti] / [· li], which we call “Child ” suffix and its variants. Where [■ tsa] and [■ tsai] are the phonetic forms inherent in the native dialect, [· ts ■] are produced by the influence of peripheral dialects, [· ti] / [· li] Formed variants. Several forms have distinctive features in their usage, reflecting the grammaticalization process of their meaning evolving from concrete to abstract.
