北京话是单音节语言的质疑

Is Beijing Madarin a monosyllabic language?

本文首次以管辖音韵学说为理论框架，重新考察北京话音节结构的诸多音韵问题，并论证这些音韵组合过程并非是偶然现象，而是内含一套自成体系的机制，严格地操控音流。除了评述传统汉语声韵二元切分法和以规则为基底的美国主流生成音韵分析法的局限外，也以管辖音韵学说中数目有限的普遍原则与参数，分析解决许多其他学派长久以来悬而未决的问题，并进一步指出北京话的最小音线理应分析为双核心音，而非过去所提出的单核心音。

In this paper, I present an analysis of Beijing Mandarin (BM) syllable Structure in terms of the universal representations made available by Government Phonology. I show that the template of a BM minimal phonological string should be analyses as dinucleic, in contrast with previous monocyllabic analyses. This government based approach adequately accounts for the phonological phenomena of BM syllable structure which are manifestations of phonological government operating on phonological strings. The tradition of structural phonemic analysis as well as the model of generative phonology are argued to be inadequate in providing a plausible explanation for the full range of facts of BM syllable structure.
