Ebook: Preliminary study on phonetic complement of Dongba Script

釜山廣域：慶星大學校。漢字硏究 第 5 輯(2011.12.) — pp. 169-183.Phonetic complement of Dongba script likewise performs repeating of all or some phonetic forms of attached logogram in character form. It is characterized in that repeating of character symbol has obtained expressed phonetics, all phonetics have been expressed, so repeated phonetics of phonetic complement symbols become a redundancy of comprehension of language by addition of all or some repeated phonetics of symbols.音補是國外學者研究楔形文字時提出的文字現象，東巴文也存在類似的現象。東巴文音補根據所依附的字的音節可以分為單音節字音補、多音節字音補。東巴文音補的原因除了使有多種讀法的字元表達單一化外，多音節字音補的產生與東巴文作為字與詞、字與音節不能完全對應的原始文字有關係，增加音補意在增加符號與音節的對應關係。音補的演變與被依附字音節的多寡密切相關，單音節字的音補後來往往與被依附字凝固成一個字元，成為注音式形聲字。而多音節詞的音補則往往發生分化：一種是被依附字脫落；一種是與被依附字調整表達音節的分工。
