摘　　要：英语借词进入普通话需进行结构调整以符合韵律和谐制约,即非高元音的前vs.后属性与鼻音韵尾的舌冠vs.舌背性质相一致。当前研究利用语库的实证数据分析了英语借词进入普通话的结构调整方式,发现英语元音的前后位置制约鼻音韵尾发音位置变化从而决定输出结果。这是因为相对于鼻音位置特征的不显著,元音特征更具语音显著性。因而,语音显著性是借词调整的关键因素,其影响超过音系对比特征。English loanwords are adapted into Mandarin to conform to the rhyme harmony constraint that requires the front vs.back quality of a non-high vowel to agree with the coronal vs.dorsal character of a nasal coda.The author did corpus analysis of the ways that English loanwords are borrowed into Mandarin and found that the backness of the English vowel can force a change in the place of articulation of the nasal coda and determine the outcome.This is attributed to the phonetic salience of the vowel feature in comparison to the relative weakness of the nasal place feature.It is concluded that phonetic salience is a critical factor in loanword adaptation that can override a phonologically contrastive feature.
