『落葉集』の漢語の連濁

Abstract

In this paper, In addition to presenting examples of RENDAKU in kanji words from "RAKUYOSYU", which is the basis of RENDAKU research, I have considered them by classifying them into tail sounds in the previous kanji, tones, and kanji sounds.The results are as follows. ・Looking at the tail sound of the previous kanji, Nasal ending 'n' or 'u' shows the highest RENDAKU rate. This is the same result as previous studies by Mitsuo Okumura (1952) and Katsuaki Numoto (1972). ・Looking at the tone of the kanji, the RENDAKU rate is high when the tone of the previous kanji character is in a 'kyosyo(去声)' than a 'hyosyo(平声)'.This is the same result as previous studies by Mitsuo Okumura (1952) and Katsuaki Numoto (1972). And Looking at the tones of kanji with RENDAKU, the rate was higher in the 'hyosyo(平声)' than in the 'kyosyo(去声)'. This is the same result as previous studies by Mitsuo Okumura (1952). ・Based on the types of Kanji sounds such as Wu and Han sounds, Han sounds had the fewest cases of RENDAKU than Wu sounds. As mentioned above, the RENDAKU of Kanji words in "RAKUYOSYU" has the same trend as the preceding research by Mitsuo Okumura (1952) and Katsuaki Numoto (1972, 1973) as a major trend. However, there are some details that require consideration. For example, Okumura Mitsuo (1952) and Numoto Katsuaki (1972) conducted research on Wu-on, but "RAKUYOSYU" is not Wu-on materials. For this reason, in the RENDAKU of "RAKUYOSYU", there are examples of 'i' whose tail sounds are of the 'ng' class. How to interpret this example requires a RENDAKU survey of other literature at the time.
