摘要
汉语音节结构的复杂性主要是其韵核前介音的归属问题。本文运用当代音系学理论,结合汉语实际语料,包括反切原理、语言游戏、外来语等,对关于汉语音节结构的各种不同分析进行评析,指出了它们的不合理性。本文根据Levin[21]的语杠音节结构和Chomsky[22]的多指示语语杠(multiple-spec X-bar)理论,提出了能正确反映汉语音节结构的多指示语语杠音节模式:[Nmax[N‖[N|[N]]]]。该语杠音节结构模式认为,汉语音节内有三个不同层面的成分结构,分别为N‖、N|和N。文章认为,汉语音节的韵核前介音既不是声母,也不属于音韵,而属于N‖的指示语(specifier)位置。多指示语语杠音节模式具有生成语法的普遍性,适用于所有汉语方言的音节结构。
The complexity of the Chinese syllable structure is caused by the syllabic status of the prenuclear glides. According to actual data including the Fanqie system, language games and loanwords, and through the perspective of the contemporary phonological theories, this article makes a critical analysis of the different previously-made approaches to the Chinese syllable structure. Based on multiple-specifier X-bar structure （ Chomsky 1995 ; Hornstein 1999 ） and following Levin＇ s （1985） X-bar syllable structure, the article presents a multiple-specifier X-bar syllable structure, [N^max[N^1 [N^1 [N] ] ] ], which captures the organization of the Chinese syllabic internal structures, claiming that the prenuclear glides are not in the onset, nor in the rhyme, but the specifier of N^1 , and that the multiple-specifier X-bar syllable structure is universal, which satisfies the syllable structures of all the Chinese dialects.
