文摘This paper aims to offer an optimality-theoretic account of citation tones and tone sandhi in disyllabic sequences in Chengdu Dialect (CD henceforth). It shows that the constraint ranking *[H,hl].T〉〉IDENT-LT〉〉 *[H,lh],*[L,1h]〉〉 IDENT-RT〉〉 *[H,hl] is able to account for the tone sandhi phenomena of disyllabic sequences in CD.
