本文运用形式语言学的理论来研究汉语的韵律。试图从句法——韵律的交界面上来探讨现代汉语的一些结构(如：把 NP+VP 把灯关闭 *把灯关； 有害身体 *有伤害身体)的句法性质及其合法分布，认为一些结构在句中不合法的根本原因，并非是由句法或者语义所致，而是由韵律造成的，是句法——韵律之间相互作用的自然结果。从理论和实践上指出“句法无韵律”的观点在汉语中是行不通的。第1章讲述汉语的韵律词，介绍了最小词的概念及其推演过程。最小词实际就是最和谐的韵律词，汉语合成词必须首先是一个韵律词，汉语的离合词都是韵律词。韵律词规则在普通语言学上有很大的意义。第2章讨论汉语的韵律句法。指出了韵律学和句法学的基本原理以及两者的关系。探讨“核心重音”对句法组合节奏的限制作用，文章指出：汉语中也应该有重音这个概念，汉语的重音基本上呈现出“单轻双重”的格局。第3章讨论汉语韵律构词和韵律句法之间的相互作用。从汉语动宾结构带宾语的韵律限制和汉语“把”字句动词不能挂单等多个现象来讨论韵律对句法的限制作用。分析韵律触发的语言演变。语音的变化必然影响以致引发韵律结构的变化。历史上动补结构的来源和被字句的形成和演变都与此有关系。第4章说明汉语书面韵律语法的形成。韵律是实现庄雅风格的必要手段。韵律本身就是一种语法手段，书面正式语体的发现为人类语言研究提供了一个演生变化的新类型。结语部分根据前面讨论的结果，说明改变语法模型的必要性和可行性，以求在新语法模型的框架上，使得韵律有机会和能力制约句法。韵律必须视为语言中相互作用的诸多层面里的一个独立的层面。语言中句法、韵律和词法是相互作用的。

This thesis discusses the interactive between the prosody and the grammar in Mandarin through the analysis of some examples by breaking the boundaries of phonology ,syntax and semantic.first briefly introduce the background of the research on phonology-syntax interface.It states the importance and the urgency of our work after reviewing the research in past decades.This thesis puts the emphasis on the discussion of the prosodic constraint on grammar.especially the prosodic constraints on syntax.Chapter 1 introduce the minword and the footing-direction problem.and then assess the propososal of “leftward morphological footing and rightward syntactic footing”Chapter 2 discuss the length problem of words and phrases in mandarin from the perspective of “stress”.It assumes the existence of “stress” in Mandarin,and takes the depth stress theory.it has been pointed out that the distribution of stress was ultimately decided by the information amounts.Chapter 3 discuss the order problem of Chinese verb-object compounds.and thenthe prosodic constraint on syntax by analyzing the order problem of modifiers and verb-object compounds,the length problem of “ba”sentence and verb-result compounds having objects.it argues that the appearance of VV compounds were overwhelmingly motivated by the disyllabic requirement and specifically by the nuclear stress assignment.Chapter4 describe the character of the written Chinese.it is different from the spoken Chinese.th discovery of it is the new style in the human language.In the final part,a new grammatical model,which enables prosody to constrain syntax is constructed to replace the old grammatical model under the idea “derivation by phase”.ti argues that the hypothsis of “phonology-free syntax”is incorrect.it is shown that syntax must have access to prosody so that the NSR can rule out legitimate syntactic operations in P-syntax.
