Dependency Phonology was first advanced in the early 1970s and now has become one of the major non linear theories of generative phonology. A systematic understanding of its theoretical assumptions and analytic devices will be of great help to our phonological research on the Chinese language. The present paper will first address the origin and evolution of this theory, then introduce its major principles and theoretical framework, and finally give a brief account of its development and influence on the other phonological theories.
