Min sandhi in verse recitation
用闽南语朗诵诗词时之变调现象
Conal D. Boyce 贾伯康

Abstract 摘要
The principles of tone sandhi in Southern Min vernacular and the rules for their application have already been well described by others. Here, instead, I present patterns of tone sandhi in Southern Min verse recitation. One will notice a close correlation between a) the Min sandhi patterns described here, b) the Yi-san Principle (viz., yi-san-wu bu-lun) of traditional Chinese prosody, and c) the agogic rhythm ( etc.) used in the recitation of Chinese poetry, generally, today. On the basis of the limited kinds of data involved in this preliminary study, one cannot say whether the Min sandhi/Yi-san portion of the correlation has historical significance or is merely superficial and coincidental. If it reflects an historical process, then that process would have been as follows: the tone sandhi system of the standard dialect of Middle Chinese was–at the abstract level–similar to that of present day Southern Min vernacular (which is evidently the basis for that of present day Southern Min verse recitation); it preceded the development of the Yi-san Principle and influenced the latter strongly.

近年来关于闽南语基本变调的文章已经发表了不少．本文讲的是用闽南语朗诵诗词时所观察到的变调现象．这种变调的规律和古代作诗所谓的［一三五不论］的规律似乎有些共同点．两者之间或许只是巧合而已，但也可能反映若干历史上的关系．这问题的结论尚待更深一步的研究。
