摘要

Grammatical relations such as head, argument and modifier are found to be crucial to the application of phrase-level tone sandhi rules in the Fuzhou dialect. Modifiers (but not arguments) preceding the head can undergo tone sandhi, as can heads preceding arguments (but not modifiers). Previous analyses by Chan, Wright and Shih are discussed, as are the theoretical implications of the present hypothesis.

並列摘要

福州話的連讀變調規則與語法關係密切相連：在一個片語裏，中心語(head)之前的修飾語(modifier)變調，論元(argument)不變調；中心語在論元之前變調，在修飾語之前不變調。本文亦在探討了此種分析所牽涉的理論問題，同時也討論了Chan Wright, Shih等人的分析。
