The yinping and yangping tones in the Jianghuai dialect (in Chinese)
江淮官话的阴平和阳平（中文文章）

Shi Shaolang 石绍浪

Abstract 摘要
Compared with the shang and qu tones, the yinping and yangping tones in the Jianghuai dialect maintain a consistent and uniform pattern of development. The yinping tone in most of the Jianghuai dialect is low-falling. The yangping of Hongchao and Tairu districts is high-rising but that of Huangxiao district is high-falling. Based on a close observation of the relevant dialects and on theories of language contact, this article draws the conclusion that the yinping and yangping tones in the Jianghuai dialect have different derivations. Yinping maintains the characteristics of old-time Jianghuai dialect while yangping either directly adopts the characteristics of surrounding dialects or has undergone changes caused by the influence of those dialects. Timing differences of devoicing of the initial consonants might be a key factor leading to the present situation of the yinping and yangping tones in the Jianghuai dialect.

与上声和去声相比，江淮官话的阴平和阳平显得非常整齐。阴平调多为低降调；阳平调，洪巢片和泰如片多为高升调，黄孝片则多为高降调。本文尝试从方言接触的角度对此进行解释，江淮官话的阴平和阳平来源不同，阴平调是承自本方言，阳平调则是直接对周边方言的借用或受周边方言影响而发生的变化。比较整齐的原因可能与浊塞音、浊塞擦音声母清化时平仄清化速度不同有关。
