STRATIFICATION: CHALLENGES AND RESOLUTIONS - STRATA OF BAI AS THE CASE
層次分析：困難及應對策略
Feng Wang　汪鋒

Abstract 摘要
This paper examines some methodologies on stratification mainly based on the data from the Bai language. The elements of a syllable, not the whole syllable, are argued to be the basic unit for stratification. A Complementary Constraint is proposed. Faced with all kinds of challenges, the Sifter method as a working procedure is devised to figure out the oldest layer, though it is almost impossible to clarify each layer. The Sifter method is applied to Sino-Bai examples to figure out the oldest layer.

提要：本文主要依據白語材料檢討了歷史層次分析在方法論上的一些問題。本文認為應當以音的組成成分而不是整個音節作層次分析基本單位，還提出一個＂互補制約＂來排除晚近借詞。為應對層次分析可能遇到的種種困難，本文提出一個篩選法作為目前的工作程序，期望以此獲取最早的語言層次。
