翻译后摘要:早期的工作的统计结构的“原南岛语”(PAn)变形揭示了一个独特的模式,避免相邻音节的起始之间,如果这些是不相同的唇音(*pVb,*pVm,* bVp,*bVm,* mVp,*mVb)。对许多保留了PAn *-um-“演员声音”反射的语言的描述表明,这种不指涉延伸到了附加词,在这种情况下,这种回避触发了一种被称为“假鼻音替代”的同构模式。虽然这种模式对于包含初始唇塞音和中缀 *-um-反射的词根非常突出,但对于包含初始唇塞音和前缀 *ma-“状态动词”反射的词根来说,这种模式就不那么突出了。在特定语言中,这种全家族的不指涉是如何实现的变化进行了简要的调查,然后它表明,菲律宾南部的Subanon扩展了通常的回避模式,通过添加到伪鼻音替代的mo-(< *ma-)的易位,以便将甚至反射的 *ma-p或 *ma-b转换为一个无害的中间同源鼻音停止序列。
Abstract:Early work on the statistical structure of the “Proto-Austronesian” (PAn) morph revealed a distinct pattern of avoidance between the onsets of adjacent syllables if these were nonidentical labials (*pVb, *pVm, *bVp, *bVm, *mVp, *mVb). Descriptions of many attested languages that have retained a reflex of PAn *-um- ‘actor voice’ show that this dispreference extends to affixed words, in which case the avoidance triggers a pattern of allomorphy that has been called “pseudo-nasal substitution.” While this pattern is very prominent for word bases that contain an initial labial stop and a reflex of the infix *-um-, it is much less prominent for word bases that contain an initial labial stop and a reflex of the prefix *ma- ‘stative verb’. Variations in the way this family-wide dispreference is realized in particular languages are surveyed briefly, and then it is shown that Subanon of the southern Philippines extends the usual avoidance pattern by adding to pseudo-nasal substitution a metathesis of mo- (< *ma-) so as to convert even the reflex of *ma-p or *ma-b to an innocuous medial homorganic nasal-stop sequence.
