台语在汉语历史比较语言学中的地位和作用

摘要

Taiwanese and Chinese share a variety of common features in their both basic vo- cabulary and phonology. Various characteristics of Ancient Chinese such as initial consonants of consonant clusters and concords are retained very welt in modern Taiwanese,which can help to reconstruct the ancient Chinese and provide evidence for testifying the same origin of Taiwan- ese and Chinese.%台语和汉语在基本词汇和音韵方面有许多共同特征。有不少古汉语的特征，比如复辅音声母，谐声，在台语现代方言里还很好地保留着。这些特征为古汉语的构拟提供了宝贵的资料，同时也是汉台语发生学关系的坚实例证。
