Abstract

This paper investigates tone sandhi phenomena in Pingyao, a Jin dialect spoken in Shanxi province in China. Pingyao tone sandhi is special in that tone sandhi in bi-syllabic strings is construction sensitive, but tone sandhi in tri-syllabic strings is not fully conditioned by construction types. Based on Optimality Theory (OT), this paper proposes analyses for bi-tonal and tri-tonal sandhi in Pingyao. We show that while bi-tonal sandhi can be accounted for by assuming that there are different grammars associated with different construction types, the lack of construction sensitivity in certain tri-syllabic strings suggests that the association between construction types and phonological grammars can be sacrificed to comply with a higher demand. In Pingyao, the higher demand is to avoid having a tri-tonal string with marked tone sandhi domain from being associated with conflicting grammars.

平遥变调的结构敏感性

本文研究了山西平遥方言的连读现象。平遥变调的特殊之处在于双音节变调具有结构敏感性，而三音节变调不完全受结构类型的限制。本文以最优性理论为基础，对平遥语的双音变调和三音变调进行了分析。我们的研究表明，虽然双音变调可以通过假设不同的结构类型有不同的语法来解释，但在某些三音节字符串中缺乏结构敏感性表明，可以牺牲结构类型和语音语法之间的关联来满足更高的要求。在平遥语中，更高的要求是避免有标记变调域的三调音字符串与冲突的语法相关联。

期刊介绍： Taiwan Journal of Linguistics is an international journal dedicated to the publication of research papers in linguistics and welcomes contributions in all areas of the scientific study of language. Contributions may be submitted from all countries and are accepted all year round. The language of publication is English. There are no restrictions on regular submission; however, manuscripts simultaneously submitted to other publications cannot be accepted. TJL adheres to a strict standard of double-blind reviews to minimize biases that might be caused by knowledge of the author’s gender, culture, or standing within the professional community.

The selection of reviewers is based purely on professional considerations and their identity will be kept strictly confidential by TJL.
