Transcript of JPN494/598: History of the Japanese Language Sound Changes (2)
The differences between the phonetic systems of modern/old Japanese1. The vowel system: An 8-vowel system?
2. The consonants of the エ段 syllables ( セ , etc.)
3. The consonants of チ・ツ・ヂ・ヅ・ジ・ズ
4. The consonants of the ハ行・パ行 syllables
5. ワ・ヰ・ _ ・ヱ・ヲ6. ヤ・ _ ・ユ・江・ヨ
7. There were no 拗音 ( ようおん )’s (like キャ )
8. The syllable final nasal (‘ ン’ ) didn’t exist
9. There was no consonant geminate (‘ ッ’ )
10. There was no long vowel (‘ ー’ )
1. The eight-vowel hypothesis
上代特殊仮名遣 ( じょうだいとくしゅかなづかい )
万葉仮名 : Use of 漢字’ s as phonograms ( 借音 )
e.g. 夜麻 ( やま ), 也万 ( やま )
甲類 vs. 乙類 (A-series vs. B-series)
こ ( 子 ), こひ ( 恋 こい ): 古 , 故 , 高 , 胡 , 姑 , …こ ( 此 ), こゑ ( 声 こえ ): 許 , 去 , 居 , 虚 , 巨 , …
こ甲 vs. こ乙
カ・ガ・ハ・バ・マ行のイ段・エ段 カ・ガ・サ・ザ・タ・ダ・ナ・マ・ヤ・ラ行のオ
段
The 8 vowel hypothesis:
[a], [i], [ï], [u], [e], [ë], [o], [ö]
甲類 ( こうるい ): [i], [e], [o]
乙類 ( おつるい ): [ï], [ë], [ö]
weak points typologically unlikely system constraints on consonant-vowel pairings (esp. for [ï] and
[ë])
The 6 vowel hypothesis:[a], [i], [u], [e], [o], [ö] ([ə])
The vowel of “ 乙類オ段音” is a mid-central vowel. The 甲 / 乙 distinction in the イ段音・エ段音 corresponds
to palatalization of the consonant.
キ甲 [ki] vs. キ乙 [kji] (cf. クィ vs. キ )ケ甲 [ke] vs. ケ乙 [kje] (cf. ケ vs. キェ )
{[ki], [kji]} → kji{[ke], [kje]} → kje → ke
The 甲・乙 distinction of イ・エ段 exists only in:
カ・ガ・ハ・バ・マ 行but not in: ア行 ヤ・ワ行 (palatal/velar approximant) サ・ザ・タ・ダ・ナ・ラ行 (alveolar)
上代 (hypothesis): “An alveolar consonant preceding [i] or [e] must be palatalized or become (alveo-)palatal.”“A non-alveolar consonant preceding [i] or [e] can be either palatalized or not.”
中古 ~ 中世 (hypothesis): “A consonant preceding [i] or [e] must be(alveo-)palatal or palatalized.”
現代 (fact):“A consonant preceding [i] must be (alveo-)palatal or palatalized.”
Nara シ [ʃi] ・ジ [ʒi] ・チ [tji] ・ヂ [dji] ・ニ [nji] ・リ [rji] セ [ʃe] ・ゼ [ʒe] ・テ [tje] ・デ [dje] ・ネ [nje] ・レ [rje]
modern シ [ʃi] ・ジ [ʤi] ・チ [ʧi] ・ヂ [ʤi] ・ニ [nji] ・リ [rji] セ [se] ・ゼ [ze] ・テ [te] ・デ [de] ・ネ [ne] ・レ [re]
音節結合法則 ( おんせつけつごうほうそく ) ( 有坂秀世 ありさかひでよ ; 1933) 乙類オ段音 do not co-occur with 甲類オ段音 wit
hin a single word; e.g. イト甲コ甲 (従兄弟) , ソ乙コ乙 ( 底 )
乙類オ段音 rarely co-occur with ウ段音 within a single word.
乙類オ段音 rarely co-occur with ア段音 within a single word.
2. サ・ザ行エ段音
サ シ ス セ ソ ; シャ シュ シェ ショ
(Nara) [sa] [ʃi] [su] [ʃe] [so](mid-Heian?) [sa] [ʃi] [su] [ʃe] [so]; [ʃa] [ʃu] [ʃo] (Modern) [sa] [ʃi] [su] [se] [so]; [ʃa] [ʃu] [ʃe] [ʃo]
[ʃe] > [se] (ap-to-a)by 16c in the East in mid-19c in the West

Realization Rules1. /s/ is realized as [ʃ] when it is followed by /i/ or /j/; othe
rwise, /s/ is realized as [s].2. /j/ is deleted after Rule 1 was applied.
ザ ジ ズ ゼ ゾ ; ジャ ジュ ジェ ジョ(Nara) [za] [ʒi] [zu] [ʒe] [zo](mid-Heian?) [za] [ʒi] [zu] [ʒe] [zo]; [ʒa] [ʒu] [ʒo] (Modern) [za] [ʒi] [zu] [ze] [zo]; [ʒa] [ʒu] [ʒe] [ʒo]
Note: in the 17th century, [ʒi]/[zu] (and [ʒa]/[ʒu]/[ʒo]) began to freely alternate with [ʤi]/[ʣu] (and [ʤa]/[ʤu]/[ʤo]); affricates are more common in modern Japanese.

3. The consonants of チ・ツ・ヂ・ヅ・ジ・ズタ チ ツ テ ト ; チャ チュ チェ チョ
(Nara) [ta] [tji] [tu] [te] [to](mid-Heian) [ta] [tji] [tu] [te] [to]; [tja] [tju] [tjo](early 16c) (affrication) [ta] [ʧi] [ʦu] [te] [to]; [ʧa] [ʧu] [ʧo](modern) [ta] [ʧi] [ʦu] [te] [to]; [ʧa] [ʧu] [ʧe] [ʧo]

ダ ヂ ヅ デ ド ; ヂャ ヂュ ヂェ ヂョ
(Nara) [da] [dji] [du] [de] [do](mid-Heian?) [da] [dji] [du] [de] [do]; [dja] [dju] [djo](early 16c) (affrication) [da] [ʤi] [ʣu] [de] [do]; [ʤa] [ʤu] [ʤo](modern) [da] [ʤi] [ʣu] [de] [do]; [ʤa] [ʤu] [ʤe] [ʤo]
[ʤi], [ʣu], etc., which resulted from “affrication”, are similar to [ʒi], [zu], etc. in their acoustic qualities.
As a result, ジ・ヂ・ズ・ヅ ( 四つ仮名 ) began to be confounded. ( 山口 : 132)
ジ・ヂ are most commonly pronounced as [ʤi]; ズ・ヅ [ʣu]
[ʒi] and [zu] may occur in fast speech, though.
4. The consonants of the ハ行 syllables ([p] >) [ɸ] > [h]
(Nara) [ɸa] [ɸji] [ɸu] [ɸe] [ɸo]
(16-17c) [ha] [çi] [ɸu] [he] [ho] (/ha/ /hi/ /hu/ /he/ /ho/)
If a language has [b], [t], [d], [k], and [g], it is likely to have [p] as well.
母 ( はは )
ひかり vs. ピカリ( 何かがピカリと光った )
はた vs. パタパタ( 旗がパタパタとはためいている )
(10-11c) [ɸ]: word-initial
春 はる , 昼 ひる , 降る ふる , 経る へる , 掘る ほる
[w]: word-medial ( ハ行転呼 はぎょうてんこ ) 川 かは , 貝 かひ , 買ふ かふ , 帰り かへり , 顔 か
ほ 粟 あは ‘ grains of millet’ vs. 泡 あわ ‘ bubble’; 濡れ
手でアワ ( ぬれてであわ )
(16-17c) word-initial [ɸ] becomes {[h], [ç], [ɸ]}
5. ワ・ヰ・ _ ・ヱ・ヲ / 6. ヤ・ _ ・ユ・江・ヨ
(Nara) [wa] [wji] [u] [we] [wo] [ja] [i] [ju] [je] [jo](Modern) [wa] [i] [u] [e] [o] [ja] [i] [ju] [e] [jo]
ゐのしし ( 猪 ) ‘bore’, いのち ( 命 ) ‘life’ ゑ ( 絵 ) ‘picture’, 江 ( 枝 ) ‘branch’, え ( 榎 ) ‘hack
berry (tree)’ をとこ ( 男 ) ‘man’, おと ( 音 ) ‘sound’
[i] & [wji]; [e], [we] & [je]
(9-10c) [e] & [je] are integrated into [je]
(13c) [i] and [wji] are integrated into [i] [je] and [we] are integrated into [je](first word-medial, then word-initial)
(mid-18c) [je] > [e]
[o] & [wo]
(early 11th century) [wo] and [o] are integrated into [wo] (?)
(mid-18th century) [wo] > [o]
7. 拗音 ( ようおん )
拗音 ( 開拗音 ; ヤ行拗音 ) becomes part of the Japanese phonetic system in the mid-Heian period. 「行かなければ」 > 「行かなきゃ」 ( 「いらしてある ? 」 >) 「いらっしゃる」
合拗音 ( ワ行拗音 ) 関 [kwaɴ], 願 [gwaɴ]
合拗音’ s (labialized consonants) are present in the カ・ガ行 only.
イ段・エ段・オ段ワ行拗音’ s were marginally used until the 13th century.
ア段ワ行拗音’ s were lost in the 18th century (in Edo). くわ & ぐわ are part of the classical orthographic c
onvention; other 合拗音’ s are not.
8. 撥音 (The syllable final nasal)
(13-16c) 山 サン [san] > [saɴ] 三 サン [sam] > [saɴ] 散 サン [saŋ] > [saɴ]
唐 トウ , 明 メイ [toŋ] > [tou] > [to:] [meŋ] > [mei] > [me:]
9. 促音 (Consonant gemination)
(late-Heian) 達成 (cf. 達人 ) 学校 (cf. 学士 )
[tatusei] > [tas:ei]
[gakukau] > [gak:au]
Changes from vowel sequences to single long
vowels (連母音の長音化 )
アラ + イソ = アリソ (荒磯 ) ナガ + アメ = ナガメ (長雨 ) カイ (櫂 ) ‘oar’
(歴史 / 現代 )ウ段(mid-Muromachi) uu (u’u) > u:
食ふ /食ウ ([kuɸu] >) [kuu] > [ku:]cf. 里親 [satooya] ([sato’oya] ) vs. 砂糖屋 [sato:ya]
iu > ju: ; Ciu > Cju: 言ふ /言ウ [iu] > [ju:] /iu/ > /ju:/ 流 [riu] > [rju:] /riu/ > /rju:/
オ段(mid-Muromachi) au > ɔ:
孝行 ‘ considerate action’ [kaukau] > [kɔ:kɔ:] 書かふ /書コウ ([kakaɸu] >) [kakau] > [kakɔ:]
ou > o: 奉公 ‘ service’ [houkou] > [ho:ko:] 思ふ /思ウ ([omoɸu] >) [omou] > [omo:]
eu > jo: Ceu > Cjo: 要 [eu] > [jo:] /eu/ > /jo/ 今日 [keu] > [kjo:] /keu/ > /kjo:/
ɔ: = ‘ 開音’ , o: = ‘ 合音’ ; the 開合 distinction was lost by the end of the
Muromachi period.
エ段(Edo) ei > e:
芸 [gei] > [ge:]
ai > e: 高い [takai] > [take:]
ae > e: 帰る [kaeru] > [ke:ru]
oi > e: 太い [ɸutoi] > [ɸute:]
ie > e: 教える [oʃieru] > [ose:ru]
ア段・イ段 ui > i:
暑い [aʦui] > [aʧi:]
岡さん [okasaɴ] vs. お母さん [oka:saɴ] 鬼さん [onjisaɴ] vs. お兄さん [onji:saɴ]
ばあさま , かかあ , マー坊 , …じいさん , おひいさま , キー坊 ,
