摘　　要：本文重点从语音演变的角度论证唐代以来文献中的复数词尾标记"弭、伟、每、懑、门、们"的语源都是"物"。这些读音不同的复数词尾标记之间不是连续式音变的关系,而是不同演变路径的同源音类的叠置。"弭"和"每"是唐宋以来秦晋等北方系官话内部的文白读叠置;鼻音韵尾的"懑、门、们"标记的出现,则是音节内部的元音韵母受m声母顺向同化而增生出鼻韵尾的结果。江西安福话、现代晋语和西北方言中的复数词尾为"物"源说提供了直接的证据。This paper argues from the perspective of sound change that the plural markers mi(弭),wei(伟),mei(每),men(懑),men(门)and men(们)documented in texts in and after the Tang dynasty were derived from wu(物).These plural markers did not result from a sequential sound change,but from the superposition of different development paths for the same sound category.Mi and mei developed from the superposition of the literary and colloquial pronunciations in northern Mandarin dialects,such as Qin-Jin Mandarin,in and after the Tang and Song dynasties.The nasal-ending plural markers men(懑),men(门)and men(们)emerged as a result of a progressive assimilation of the initial/m/,which gave rise to nasal coda addition in open syllables.The plural endings in the Anfu dialect of Jiangxi province,the modern Jin dialect and the northwestern dialects provide direct evidence for the wu-origin hypothesis.
