Phonological experiments in the study of palatals in Mandarin
由音韻實驗之觀點來探討漢語舌面音的現象

Abstract 摘要
This paper aims to conduct four phonological experiments, onset similarity experiment, sound contraction experiment, sound similarity experiment, and sound expansion experiment, to test the asymmetrical behavior among dentals, retroflexes, or velars with respect to palatals in Mandarin. The analyses show that native speakers of Mandarin have preferences to replace palatals with dentals on line during phonological experiments, and that dentals take part in phonological patterns which are different from those of other places of articulation.

本文以四項實驗：聲母近似度判斷實驗、音節縮減近似度判斷實驗、語音近似度判斷實驗、與音節擴充近似度判斷實驗，來探討臺灣區漢語使用者對於漢語舌面音[t, t, ]與舌尖音[ts, ts, s]、翹舌音[t, t, ]或舌根音[k, k, x]在心理層面偏好的關係。實驗之結果數值均顯表現出當舌面音不存在時，受試者較偏好以舌尖音取代舌面音。由日常口語的語料頻率來看，舌根音最多，翹舌音次之，而舌尖音最少。舌尖音的偏好選擇因此證實與使用者的使用頻率無關；舌尖音取代舌面音的偏好在使用者的心理底層結構具有一定機制。
