摘要

本研究以口鼻氣流測量儀（PCquirer X16系統）測量台灣華語元音及鼻音韻尾在構音過程當中的氣流變化，將其依據Delvaux (2008)與Hsieh (2011) 的量化方式來計算元音及鼻音韻尾的鼻音性強度，進而探究台灣華語中的：(1) 元音在鼻音環境之下的鼻化現象，(2) 鼻輔音的鼻音性探討，(3) 在不同韻母中鼻音韻尾的轉變情形；再將我們所得到的實驗結果與其他的語言作比較，從中了解台灣華語與其他語言的一致性及差異性。

This thesis is an aerodynamic study of nasality and nasalization in Taiwanese Mandarin, with special reference to the following topics: i) nasality of nasal consonant and ii) contextual nasalization of vowels. In addition, the experimental results were compared with those of Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese Southern Min. It appears that there are still some notable cross-dialectal differences. Finally, our results may also shed light on the disputed patterns of place neutralization in nasal codas in Taiwanese Mandarin.
