ABSTRACT

This article aims to consider labiodentalization that occurred between Early Middle Chinese and Late Middle Chinese. Because Huilin’s Yiqiejingyinyi is a book of transitional period between Early Middle Chinese and Late Middle Chinese period, this book was used in this study. Labial are separated into Bilabial and Labiodental in the Late Middle Chinese period. Karlgren insisted on the occurrence of labiodentalization in the condition of ‘Division Ⅲ + hekou[合口]’. But, his insistence has some problems. Chao Yuen Ren, Pan Wu Yun, Yang Jian Qiao opposed Karlgren’s insistence, and they insisted that labiodentalization occurs when labial is followed by Medial –i- and a Middle·Back vowel. Analyzing the letters and fanqie[反切], we can find three evidences that labiodentalization occurred at this time. First, there is a very small proportion of bilabial and labiodental merged in fanqie. Second, when Huilin took the letters of Xuanyingyinyi and wrote them, he changed all of labial Leigeqie[類隔切] to Yinheqie[音和切]. Third, in Huilin’s Yiqiejingyinyi Feimuzi[非母字] was merged with Fumuzi[敷母字]. Huilin replaced the letters that were bilabial in Xuanyingyinyi to labiodental in Yiqiejingyinyi. By analyzing the letters, it was confirmed that the condition of ‘Medial –i- and a Middle·Back vowel’ was correspond to labiodentalization. The main vowel of the replaced letters are -ɤ-, -ɐ-, -u-, all of which are Middle·Back vowels.
