本研究以「陽山粵語」為題，旨在研究弱勢方言在當今語言環境下的音變情況。隨著詹伯慧、張日昇在1994年出版的《粵北十縣市粵方言調查報告》和許潔紅在2013年所撰寫的〈廣東陽山粵語語音研究〉，其為陽山粵語提供了當前讀音的語料庫。事實上，經講者的田野調查發現，不同年齡層的發音人與語料庫的對比下呈現出不一樣的發音情況。本講座將分為兩部分，第一部分為導論，講解陽山粵語在陰聲韻的發音情況，透過呈現出元音的分佈情況，指出在不同的年齡層存在混讀與競爭的階段。第二部分為專論，意圖展現遇攝模韻和效攝豪韻的合流和混讀現象，並從內部音變與語言接觸的視角下解構這種特殊音變現象。

This research aims to investigate the sound change of the non-prestige dialect with a particular interest in Yangshan Cantonese (shortened as YC). By comparing data collected in this paper with a previous corpus of YC, it is found that speakers of different ages have different pronunciation. This seminar will be divided into two sections. The first section introduces the background knowledge of YC, and the chaos of its vowel pronunciation. The second section maps out the merger and dominance of YùShè MúYùn and XiàoShè Háoyùn and deconstructs such sound change in view of internally motivated change and contact-induced change.
