Abstract 摘要
In this paper, we discuss the genetic relationship of Sino-Tibetan languages, especially that between Sino-Tibetan and Kam-Tai languages. We first review the methodology of correlated and complete sound correspondence and that of rank analysis. By adopting the latter methodology, we then demonstrate rank analyses of domestic animals, tool materials, numerals, and core words, all of which serve as case studies on the relationships between Old Chinese and such languages as Kam-Tai, Written Tibetan, and Written Burmese. Based on the distributional differences of sound correspondences across ranked lexical items in the aforementioned semantic domains, we propose a genetic tree of Sino-Tibetan languages whereby Kam-Tai is not related to Sino-Tibetan.

本文主要讨论了汉藏语的基本谱系结构，尤其是汉藏和侗台的关系问题。在讨论之前，我们首先回顾了关联对应、完全对应等语音对应方法，以及有阶分析等语源分析方法。在有阶分析方法基础上，我们讨论了古汉语、侗台语、藏文、缅文之间在六畜词、工具质料词、数词、核心词的有阶分布，并据此提出了汉藏语的一个基本谱系结构，在这个结构中，我们认为目前还没有充分的证据显示汉藏语和侗台语有同源关系。
