In Japanese, the consonants in the ga row are pronounced as a plosive [g] at the beginning of a phrase, but within a phrase, depending on the dialect, they can be pronounced as a nasal [ŋ] in addition to [g], or as a light nasal sound before [g] [ŋg]. These ga row consonants pronounced as [ŋ] within a phrase are called ga row nasals (or ga row nasal voiced consonants) and have been considered the standard pronunciation, but currently there is a tendency for [g] to be increasingly used among young people in Tokyo and other areas. Even within a phrase, weakly compounded words are not nasalized, and in Tokyo dialect, there is a rule that the following are not nasalized: (1) onomatopoeia and mimetic words (garagara, gouguu), (2) the numeral five (jugo, gohyakugojuu), (3) words with light prefixes (ogenki, fugokaku), (4) words that begin with a ga-row sound at the end and are weakly compounded (koto gakko, madogarasu), etc. [Kazue Akinaga] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
日本語のガ行の子音は、文節の頭では破裂音[g]で発音されるが、文節の内部では方言によってさまざまで、[g]のほかに鼻音の[ŋ]、あるいは[g]の前に軽い鼻音が入る[ŋg]で発音される。この[ŋ]で発音される文節内部のガ行音をガ行鼻音(またはガ行鼻濁音)といい、標準的な発音とされてきたが、現在東京その他の若年層ではしだいに[g]が増加する傾向にある。 文節の内部といっても、複合の度合いの弱いものは鼻音化せず、東京語では次のようなものは鼻音化しない法則がある。(1)擬声・擬態語の類(ガラガラ、グーグー)、(2)数詞の五(ジューゴ、ゴヒャクゴジュー)、(3)軽い接頭辞のつくもの(オゲンキ、フゴーカク)、(4)後部の語頭がガ行音で、複合の度合いの弱いもの(コートーガッコー、マドガラス)など。 [秋永一枝] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
