Title: The syllable and Chinese segmental phonology
Abstract: This paper examines how syllable structure influences the segmental phonological rules and constraints in Chinese,and discusses whether or not these data and phenomena support syllable theory in contemporary phonological theory and various analyses of Chinese syllable structure in the literature.The conclusion confirms the importance of the basic concept of the syllable and its constraints in the analysis of Chinese segmental phonology,but questions the need for complex hierarchical constituents in syllable structure.
