A Study of the Chinese Phonology during the Yuan Dynasty

在这项研究中，我重新审视了元代的各种音系材料。首先，将国内元代音韵学研究的基础资料《中原音韵》、《中州乐府音韵雷边音韵》等文献通过unicord转换为数字数据库，并对其编纂过程进行了研究。结果，得到了推进上述论述的新发现：《中原阴云》是在《中州乐府阴云雷边》的基础上进行扩充的，《中原阴云雷边》是在《广云》的基础上依次拾取基本汉字编写的；澄清了广韵在中原胤韵的放大过程中也使用了广韵。在研究过程中，笔者考察了《中原胤韵》的各种版本，包括现存版本中最古老的元代Kyou Shooku版本，并成功收集到新发现的明朝版本。在这个新发现的版本中，每个final都有其他版本中没有的语音描述，它们特别有趣。此外，我尝试将以往对hPhags-pa材料的系统研究，如梦谷紫云，纳入到我们的项目中。另一方面，我研究了一份珍贵的中蒙资料《致远义语》。目前，波斯语文献和日文文献的数据库尚未建成。对《全元曲》中押韵字的整合也进行了基础性的研究。在此基础上，详细梳理了元代音系文献的各个方面，为整合前人的研究资料和成果做了基础工作。

In this study, I reexamined various phonological materials of the Yuan dynasty. First, the domestic documents such as the Zhongyuan yinyun, the Zhongzhou yuefu yinyun leibian phonology and so on, which are the fundamental materials for the research of the Yuan dynasty phonology, were converted as digital database by unicord, and then I researched their compiling processes. As a result, new findings that advance the former discussions are obtained: It was known that the Zhongyuan yinyun was enlarged on the basis of the Zhongzhou yuefu yinyun leibian, and the later was compiled by picking up basic characters in the Guangyun sequently; it has been clarified that the Guangyun was also used in the enlarging process of the Zhongyuan yinyun. In the research process, I examined the various versions of the Zhongyuan yinyun, including the Kyou Shooku version of the Yuan dynasty the is the oldest version among the existent copies, moreover, I succeded to collect a newly found Ming dynasty version. In this newly discovered version, there are phonetical descriptions to the each final which are not seen in the other versions, they are expecially interisting. Moreover, I tried to incoporate the previous systematical studies on hPhags-pa materials such as the Menggu ziyun into our project. On the other hand, I researched the Zhiyuan Yiyu, which is a valuable Sino-Mongolian material. For the time being, the database of the Persian documents and the Japanese documents is not completed. Fundamental researches were also done for incorporation of the rhyme characters in the Quan Yuanqu. As a result of these studies, aspects of various phonological documents of the Yuan dynasty are clarified in detail, the basic work for incorporation the all previous research materials and results were done.
