鼻喉亲缘性
鼻喉亲缘性指喉音和鼻音化间的联系。这一概念由詹姆斯·马提索夫在1975年提出。[1]:265–287[2]:44–62
咽化和鼻化的产生在声学上有联系,可从反共振峰和时频谱中看出。这是因为两个音都有相离的共振:发鼻音时,口腔和鼻音均共振;发喉音时,会厌以下的空间和口腔发生共振。
虽然奉语中没有成音位的鼻化元音,但/h/后的元音还是会发生强烈的鼻化。相似的现象出现在皮拉罕语中,/h/和/ʔ/后元音会鼻化。美式英语中存在这种音变,比如肯尼迪将哈佛大学读作[hɑ̃ːvəd]。[3]:61–62
鼻喉亲缘性在古拉盖语群伊诺尔语的历时变化中能明显观察到。伊诺尔语有鼻化元音,这对古拉盖语言来说很不寻常。许多时候,鼻化元音出现在历史上曾是喉音或咽音的位置。[4]鼻喉亲缘性在古拉盖语外也能观察到。[5]:13–24相似的过程还发生于爱尔兰语、[6]:109–132巴斯克语、[7]:635–663中北部黎语[8]和纽勒语,班图语*p变成/ŋ/,而不是像其他卢希亚语那样变成/h/。
阿维斯陀语也展现出鼻喉亲缘性的影响:原始印度-伊朗语*s一般在阿维斯陀语中对应h,但在a/ā和r、i̯、u̯或a/ā间时却是软腭鼻音。例子有aŋra“邪恶”(梵语asra)、aŋhat̰“他可能是”(梵语ásat)和vaŋ́hō“更好”(梵语vasyas)。[9]:36–37
鼻喉亲缘性也可能出现在咽音上,不是声门音独有。例如,科伊科伊语xárà“狐獴”和科威语xánà“缟獴”(鼻音和非鼻化搭嘴音也体现出类似的对应)间的对应可能就是原始科伊语中的元音咽化。
