ABSTRACT

This study aims to reveal the phonetic relationships of initial consonants between characters of Yinzhuan(音轉) in Guangya Shuzheng(廣雅疏證). According to Wu Zeshun(2006: 4-5)'s definition of Yinzhuan(音轉), it refers to the phenomenon of phonetic transformation in Chinese characters due to various reasons such as historical factors, regional factors, and linguistic factors. Through the study of Yinzhuan(音轉) between characters, we can examine their etymology and phonetic relationships. Yinzhuan(音轉) has also attracted the attention of many scholars. However, based on existing research on Yinzhuan(音轉), most of the phonetic analysis are based on Wang Li's Old Chinese phonology. Over time, the limitations of Wang Li's Old Chinese phonological system have gradually become apparent. Since his system does not support consonant Clusters, the use of Wang Li's system to analyze Yinzhuan(音轉) is inevitably limited and will have an impact on existing research results. Therefore, this paper will adopt the Old Chinese phonology system proposed by Zheng-Zhang Shangfang(2013), which references a large amount of materials such as Xiesheng(諧聲),loan characters, transcriptions etc. By breaking through the limitations of current research in phonology, this paper will conduct a specific phonetic analysis of Yinzhuan(音轉) in Guangya shuzheng. The focus will be on analyzing the phonetic relationships of initial consonants between characters of Yinzhuan(音轉) to elucidate how phonetic transformations occur between these characters.
