摘　　要：和谐串行理论(Harmonic Serialism,简称HS)是近几年来兴起的一种带推导的优选论理论。本文首先对HS的基本原则和理论框架予以介绍和阐释。然后基于形态—音系视角,运用HS对英语派生后缀触发词基尾的舌根塞音软腭音软化和该音变中出现的“表层非显”音系不透明现象进行理论分析,指出基于规则推导模式的经典生成音系学理论和并行优选论在分析这一音变现象时存在的问题。基于音系结构的标记性,本文提出音系理据来说明以非低前元音/I/、/e/起首的派生后缀会触发所附词基尾的舌根塞音/k/、/g/出现软腭音软化。然后阐述HS严格遵循渐变性原则,能够更全面地描写和解释英语软腭音软化以及该音系过程中的音系不透明现象。最后,简要说明本文的研究发现和研究意义。Harmonic Serialism(HS)is a derivational Optimality Theory advanced in recent years.The present article firstly introduces and explains the basics and framework of Harmonic Serialism.Secondly,this article based on morpho-phonology perspective uses HS to conduct a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the velar softening of the dorsal stop,which results from the phonological process that the English derivative suffixes trigger the phonological process of the base ending.And the article explores the“non-surface-apparent”phonological opacity in the phonological process.The research then points out the drawback faced in the analyses of rule-based phonology and parallels Optimality theory.The phonological motivation for velar softening based on markedness of phonological structure is put forward,that is,the non-low front vowels derivative suffixes starting with/I/,/e/will trigger velar softening of the attached dorsal stops/k,g/of the base.HS strictly observes the principle of gradualness,and can better describe and explain the phonological opacity in the process of English velar softening.Finally,it summarizes and briefly reviews main findings and meanings of the article.
