520 $a This dissertation presents a comparative study of the vowel systems in 37 Mandarin languages.
520 $a I examine the phonological vowel inventory in each language based on evidence from the distribution of the surface vowels. The distribution includes where a surface vowel is found, and how it relates to other segments in the language. One striking fact which is found in all the Mandarin languages examined is that the vowel /e/ is always able to assimilate to a neighboring glide [j], and in some languages to both [j] and [w]. Some constraints are called for in order to explain the full range of data in Mandarin. These constraints include the domain, locality, and structure in /e/ assimilation, the degree of structural complexity of certain segments, the requirement of the Obligatory Contour Principle, the structure for the application of certain default rule, and the type of vowel sequences that are allowed. These are the fabric of Mandarin vowels.
520 $a The study is conducted within the framework of the contrastive specification approach developed at the University of Toronto. This theory suggests that a vowel is specified for a feature either because of its phonological behavior in the language, or because of its contrast with other vowels in the language. Four types of Mandarin phonological vowel inventories have been identified depending on the number of phonemes in each system and the way each phoneme is realized on the surface. The results of feature specification in each language account for the phonology in the language. For instance, in the language Chengde, there are two vowels specified for a place feature. Both vowels are triggers of place assimilation in the language. In the language Harbin, only one vowel is specified for place feature. This is also the only vowel that acts as a trigger in place assimilation in the language. In a different approach, say full specification, where a vowel is fully specified, then would be no explanation for the fact that both vowels acting as the trigger of place assimilation in one language whereas only one in the other.
520 $a Mandarin phonological vowel inventories provide insight into the issue of vowel place feature markedness. In particular, in the Harbin-type languages, the place feature [Coronal] is present in the vowel system; the place feature [Labial] is absent [Labial] is less marked than [Coronal] at least in these languages.
