Phonological Space

音系空间

 

A term used in phonology to refer to a theoretical space in which a system of phonological contrasts can be thought to operate. For example, changes affecting a vowel system (such as the English Great Vowel Shift) can be conceived of as operating in a space where such relations as ‘above’ and ‘below’ or ‘in front of’ and ‘behind’ are phonologically relevant.

 

音系学术语,指一个理论空间,可想象一个音韵对立的系统在其中运作。例如,影响一个元音系统的各种变化(如英语的元音大交替)可视为发生在一个空间里,其中像“上”“下”“前”“后”这类方位关系有音系学上的意义。
