Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 教育學系 === 82 === In Mandarin, r-suffixation and particle a-suffixation have been controversial topics for a long time. Both of them vary with the preceding stems. Previous analyses based on Linear Phonology or Non-linear Phonology are not satisfying enough to account for their variety except stipulating as many specific phonological rules as possible. The aim of the thesis is focused on explaining these facts under the model of Lexical Phonology. In this framework, the word-based morphology of Mandarin establishes a relationship of an interesting sort between the morphological structure and phonological structure. Supposing [r] is a level 1 suffix and [a] is a level 2 suffix, they get a full explanation on the basis of the canonical template CVX interacting with phonological rules and principles like Oligatory Contour Principle and Structure Preservation.
