众所周知，句法对音系学很重要，但音系学对句法重要吗？这个问题是有争议的，部分原因是判断一个现象是句法的还是语音的并不总是直截了当的，部分原因是相关的数据（例如，格式良好的判断）通常是非分类的，但语法结构的方式，逃避性能解释。本文讨论了语音制约的句法变异的例子，并展示了如何可以理解的变化+过滤理论的句法-语音相互作用。这一理论具有以下关键特征：（a）音系学指的是句法，但句法并不指音系学;（B）句法通过承认成分之间的替代线性化以及替代选择来预测变异;（c）音系学通过评估变异体的音系良好性来充当过滤器。我的结论是，语音对句法变异的影响是有限的，但真实的。
It is well known that syntax matters to phonology, but does phonology matter to syntax? This question is controversial, partly because judging whether a phenomenon is syntactic or phonological is not always straightforward, and partly because the relevant data (e.g., well-formedness judgments) are often noncategorical, yet grammatically structured in ways that elude performance explanations. This review discusses examples of phonologically constrained syntactic variation and shows how they can be understood in terms of the variation + filtering theory of syntax–phonology interaction. This theory has the following key properties: (a) Phonology refers to syntax, but syntax does not refer to phonology; (b) syntax predicts variation by admitting alternative linearizations as well as alternative choices among constituents; and (c) phonology acts as a filter by evaluating the phonological well-formedness of the variants. I conclude that phonological effects on syntactic variation are limited, but real.
