Grade medials and vocalic allophone development: Han to Liang
等韵介音与同位元音
Simon W. Johnstone
Abstract 摘要
The present article postulates a bisegmental nature for the grade medials of late Hàn to Liáng Chinese, giving nine possible permutations, and attempts to interpret the proliferation of rhyming categories during the period in terms of allophonic variation of the peak vowels induced by these medial complexes. Only the unrounded peak vowels // and // are considered.
