Abstract 摘要
The Dongshi Hakka is one of the Dapu varieties. There are six vowels: [i, ö, e, a, o, u]. The apical vowel [ö] occurs only after [ts, tsh, s] and [tS, tSh, S] and it is not followed by any consonant. The other five vowels constitute 62 Finals, abiding by the CGVE syllable structure together with 4 constraints. The four constraints or rules are: (a) Dissimilation Constraint, precluding any vowel of the same [back] feature from constituting a diphthong; (b) Assimilation Constraint, stopping a vowel and its following consonant from sharing different [back] features. (c) Diphthong Principle, demanding that one of the diphthong vowels should be a high vowel; and (d) Labial Constraint, prohibiting any syllable in which the onset and the coda are both labial sounds.
