| 英文摘要 |
Taiwanese and Mandarin are generally regarded as two varieties of the Chinese language as they have their own different phonological systems. Basically, they are all monosyllabic as far as their phonological structures are concerned despite the fact that more and more bisyllabic words are being adopted in their modern forms. In theory, each syllable can be spoken separately in slow speech. But in fast speech, many monosyllabic or even bisyllabic words in Taiwanese will change their basic structures either through assimilation, dissimilation, deletion of phonemes or through tone sandhi. In Mandarin, however, sound change in this case takes place by means of tone sandhi only. The purpose of this paper is to look more deeply into the interesting phenomena of sound change in Taiwanese and Mandarin as a result of fast speech in phonological realizations so as to find systematic rules operating underly-ingly. |
