Phonetic Experimental Study Of The "Tuanjie Words" In Liangshan Prefecture

"Tuanjie words" as the interdisciplinary language of the Yi-Chinese language,under the influence of the target language(Chinese)and the mother tongue(Yi language),the phonological features of it shows distinctive characteristics,which are different from the mother tongue and the target language.In this study,we selected the young people of Yi nationality,who come from five counties of Liangshan Prefecture as the survey object,and obtained a large number of phonetic materials through field investigation.At the same time,this thesis uses the relevant theories and techniques of experimental phonetics to study the phonetic characteristics such as consonants,vowels and tones.On the initials,in the "Tuanjie words",the length relationship of all kinds of consonants is basically consistent with Mandarin dialect,generally speaking,is plosive<affricate<fricative and unaspirated consonant<aspirated consonant。The difference is:the fricatives and the lateral,nasals have no definite correspondence.The length of fricative[s]is the longest(except for Yanyuan and the longest is[(?)]),and the shortest is[(?)].The length of each fricative is the shortest one in Huili.The other side,the length of lateral and nasals are different and irregular in difference county;Through the comparison of the five counties,the shortest length of each lateral and nasal appear in Huili and the longest one appear in Yanyuan.Vowel,the significant features of the number of finals is that there are only 26 finals in Butuo "Tuanjie words",which influenced by a variety of factors.The vowel patterns and the distribution as a vowel triangle in every spot,but each difference.On the tone,there are 6 tones in Butuo "Tuanjie words",but Leibo least with only 3.The tonal type and the tonal pith(values)of every tone has some difference in different spot.The pattern of duration is:the duration of winding tone or flat tone is more longer,the duration of descendent tone is more shorter.The other side,the duration of every tone is shortest in Butuo "Tuanjie Words",but longest in Leibo "Tuanjie Words"(T2 tone is except).And the duration of every tone in other three counties on the middle of Butuo and Leibo with no regular pattern.
