Опубликовано в: Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area. 17 (2): 49–68. Classification of the Bai language is controversial. The majority opinion states that Bai belongs to the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family, cf. Matisoff (1991), Fu (1991), Bradley (1993), and Ma et al. (1994:17), though convictions differ about which subgroup it belongs to. There are also...

Andy Castro, Brian Crook, Royce Flaming. 本调查就云南省鹤庆县北部地区彝族使用的夸恩斯话(即夸萼氏话)和其他相关彝语支语种进行社会语言学方面的初步整理，并对该地区各彝语支语种之间相互通解度和词汇相似度进行初步评估。本次调查共搜集整理出五种不同的语种： 夸恩斯话（Kua-nsi）、夸玛斯话（Kuamasi）、莱兹斯话（Laizisi）、子逋斯话（Zibusi），以及锁内嘎话（Sonaga）。根据初步评估，笔者认为，这五种方言之间的相互通解度都极为有限。而根据词汇相似度评分和来文史特编辑距离（Levenshtein...

北京：《民族语文》2016 年第 5 期. — 39-46页. 白语方言中否定变韵的生成模式可以统一为一种，即 V（肯定）→ uV（否定），其中-u-来源于后置否定词*mu33。否定变韵的主要功能是情态意义的否定。根据否定变韵在方言中的分布，可以推断变韵是东支白语的创新变化，而不是原始白语的遗存。 This paper discusses the nature and origin of rhyme-modification of negative verb forms in Bai dialects. A generative rule of V (affirmative) → uV (negative) underlies various modification patterns. -u- comes from post-verbal negator...
