摘　　要：随着优选论的兴起 ,音系学界出现了功能主义的复兴。音系学方面的功能主义 ,其核心是要在清晰性和省力性的张力之间寻求音系解释。优选论的忠实性制约条件可用来表示清晰性 ,而标记性制约条件则可用来表示省力。制约条件的层级排列用于处理两者之间的关系。这样 ,功能解释在优选论的制约条件层级排列中 ,得到了形式主义的表述。最近出现的“加州学派”寻求在制约条件和语音细节之间建立更直接的关系 。With the advent and development of Optimality Theory, there is a revival of functionalism in phonology. The main thesis of functionalism in phonology is to seek phonological explanation in the tension between clarity and ease. Faithful ness constraints in Optimality Theory can be regarded to maintain clarity while markedness constraints are used to express ease of articulation. The ranking hierarchy of these two types of constraints indicates the relation between the two. Thus functional explanations are expressed by formalistic means in the constraint interaction of Optimality Theory. The recent Californian School seeks to set up a direct relationship between constraints and phonetic details, and to include numerical computation into constraints and constraint interaction.
