辅音弱化 Lenition

(重定向自Soft mutation)

辅音弱化弱音化Lenition)是语言学的一种辅音变化现象,存在于多种语言,但以印欧语为主。辅音弱化及语音同化都是历史语言学的一门主要课题,亦是现时语言在历史中变化的主要原因。

这个名词源自拉丁语的lenis,意思就是变弱或变软。弱音化指语音由一对较强的语音转化为较弱的一对。若已转化的辅音与另外的辅音还有配对关系,这个弱化过程还可能会一直继续下去。

Lenition 辅音弱化

(重定向自Soft mutation)

In linguistics, lenition is a kind of sound change that alters consonants, making them more sonorous (vowel-like). The word lenition itself means "softening" or "weakening" (from Latin lenis = weak). Lenition can happen both synchronically (i.e. within a language at a particular point in time) and diachronically (i.e. as a language changes over time). Lenition can involve such changes as making a consonant more sonorous, causing a consonant to lose its place of articulation (a phenomenon called debuccalization, which turns a consonant into a glottal consonant like [h] or [ʔ]), or even causing a consonant to disappear entirely.
