藏缅语研究中最感兴趣的问题莫过于景颇声调系统之间可能的相互关系。和Lolo-Burmese(LB)。1京帕在结核病中占有重要地位,原因是多方面的。首先,由于Hanson 1906,从词汇的角度来看,它是家族中记录最好的语言之一。其次,它在语音上是高度保守的(特别是与“退化”的LB组相比),保留了丰富的前缀,初始辅音群,最后停止和鼻音,声门共鸣和其他好东西。最后,从遗传学的角度来看,景泊站在一个独特的十字路口。由于其地理位置在缅甸北方,结核病语言区的中心地带,可能会让人怀疑,景泊似乎同时显示出与结核病所有主要亚群的特殊亲和力:Kuki-Naga,Garo-Bodo,Bodish或喜马拉雅,Nungish和Lolo-Burmese。在所有这些相互关联的关系中,T...
Abstract It is hard to imagine a question of more interest to Tibeto-Burman (TB) studies than that of the possible interrelationship of the tonal systems of Jinghpaw (Jg.) and Lolo-Burmese (LB). 1 Jinghpaw occupies a key position in TB, for many reasons. First of all, thanks to Hanson 1906, it is one of the best documented languages of the family from a lexical point of view. Secondly, it is highly conservative phonologically (especially when compared to the “degenerate” LB group), preserving a rich array of prefixes, initial consonant-clusters, final stops and nasals, glottalized resonants, and other goodies. Finally, from the genetic standpoint, Jinghpaw stands at a unique crossroads. As its geographical position in northern Burma, the heartland of the TB speech area, might lead one to suspect, Jinghpaw seems to show special affinities with all major subgroups of TB simultaneously: Kuki-Naga, Garo-Bodo, Bodish or Himalayan, Nungish, and Lolo-Burmese. 2 Of all these interlocking relationships, however, t...
