摘要
在最近十年的音系学研究领域,随着优选论的发展,音系学界出现了功能主义复兴的趋势。音系学功能主义的基本表现形式是借助音系语法之外的生理、物理特别是发音机制和感知机制等因素对音系现象做出解释。优选论的忠实性制约条件表示听觉的清晰性,而标记性制约条件表示发音的省力性,制约条件的等级排列体系可以处理二者之间的关系。本文通过对功能主义音系学的起源、发展以及功能主义优选论的实例分析,试图阐明人类的发音机制和感知机制与语言的音系结构之间会形成某种联系,形式主义和功能主义在音系学研究领域中将会有更多的交叉之处。
With the advent and development of Optimality Theory, there is a revival of functionalism in phonology. Fuctionalist tendency tries to construct constraints of both markedness and faithfulness on the basis of functional principles, manifesting itself in various versions in seeking for phonological explanations on the physiological, acoustic and perceptual grounds. The main thesis of functionalism in phonology is to seek phonological explanation in the tension between clarity and ease. Faithfulness constraints in Optimality Theory can be relatell to clarity while markedness constraints to ease of articulation. The ranking hierarchy of these two types of constraints indicates the relation between the two. This paper proposes that there should be a relation between the articulatory and perceptual mechanism and phonological structure.
