英文摘要 |
Despite the fact that Chinese languages/dialects lack productive affixational morphology, the few existing cases that have been studied are of theoretical interest and provide a more complete picture of Chinese morphophonology, an area that is often misunderstood. This paper provides an overview and synthesis of Chinese affixal phonology by presenting the morphophonological alternations under diminutive/hypocoristic affixation in various Chinese languages/dialects and by discussing the relevant analytical and theoretical issues. |
