摘　　要：本文分析和比较了英语辅音丛音节分析的主要模式的解释力和概括力，显示词首辅音丛并不总是属于同一音节。较之其他模式而言，CCVX（CCVC or CCVV）模式的解释力和限制性较强，就处理的一致性、发音和人们的直觉来看较为合理，是比较全面的英语音节构成分析模式和辅音丛划分理论模式。该模式能反映英语实际的音位分布，对处在词首、词中和词尾的辅音的处理是一致的，对单音节词和多音节词的处理也是一致的。CCVX的理论根据为GP，其核准和管辖限制条件揭示了辅音丛中辅音的依存关系，限制条件简约，限制性强，GP关于核心空缺首音和尾音的提议能解释许多不规则的辅音组合和无音段占居的音节位置以及中略等语言变化，能解释词内辅音与词尾辅音的区别，后者不能起到闭音节短音化的作用。针对棘手的SC和SCC组合，在CCVX的分析框架下，SC不划归同一音节，排除了SC不符合SSP的问题。有证据支持词首的SCC中／a／为前面韵音的尾音。针对CCVX模式的准许原则造成空核心相邻V．CO．OC．CCV（co．n．s．cript）的问题，本文的解释和处理意见符合CCVX首音和韵音都只占两个位置的分析。This paper analyzes and compares several major models of the syllabification of English consonant clusters. The analysis and comparison show that not all word-initial consonant clusters belong to the same syllable. Compared with other models, CCVX（ CCVC or CCW） is more powerful and restrictive. This model is convincing considering the same treatment both initially and internally,articulation, and people＇s intuition of syllable division. It reflects the practical phonotactics of English and has the same treatments to consonant clusters at different positions and the same treatment to both monosyllabic and polysyllabic words. CCVX model is based on GP. Its licensing and government principles show the dependent relations between consonants, and the proposal about empty nucleus is able to eliminate the seemingly irregular consonant clusters and to explain null-roweled syllables and language changes such shortening . Concermng as syncope. GP nearly explains the difference between word-medial and word-final consonants which fail to trigger ＂closed-syllable ＂ the hard nut,sC,sCC clusters,in the framework of CCVX, sC is heterosyllabic,which eliminates the blame of its violation of SSP. And the proposal that/s/ in sCC is a coda is well-founded. To solve the problem of two adjacent empty nucleus in V. CO. OC. CCV（co. n. s. cript） ,this paper offers explanation and treatment,which is in line with the pattern of branching onset and rhyme taking two positions in CCVX.
