Abstract 摘要
"In this sequel to From Middle Chinese to Modern Peking (Chen 1976a), we set out to investigate the phonological history of another major dialect of China. Owing to the length of the manuscript, this report will appear in three contiguous issues containing, respectively, the following main sections: I-IV, V-VIII and IX-X. The footnotes go together with the corresponding sections, while the references and appendices summing up the sound correspondences are relegated to the very end of the monograph-length article. The overall organization of the present work is then as follows:
Part 1.
I. Introduction
II. Phonotactic conditions
III. Tonal developments
IV. Initial Changes
Footnotes to sections I-IV
Part 2.
V. Cantonese Vowel Shift
VI. The realignment of inner and outer rimes
VII. The genesis of *TRI-SEG
VIII. Late allophonic rules
Footnotes to sections V-VIII
Part 3.
IX. Summary of rules and conditions
X. Relative chronology
Footnotes to sections IX-X
References
Appendix A. Tone correspondences
Appendix B. Initial correspondences
