Abstract 摘要
Grammatical relations such as head, argument and modifier are found to be crucial to the application of phrase-level tone sandhi rules in the Fuzhou dialect. Modifiers (but not arguments) preceding the head can undergo tone sandhi, as can heads preceding arguments (but not modifiers). Previous analyses by Chan, Wright and Shih are discussed, as are the theoretical implications of the present hypothesis.
