亨利斯威特（Henry Sweet）在近世纪前就提出了英语单音节虚词弱式和强式的限制条件。我们处理的事实是错综复杂的细节，并已被证明抵抗几十年的描述尝试。然而，它们的理论含义往往被认为是相当实质性的。我们同意，它们是实质性的;但是，我们在本文末尾所要得出的理论教训将与从这些现象中所得出的标准教训完全相反。
Our topic in this paper is the constraints on the weak and strong versions of monosyllabic function words in English, noted by Henry Sweet nearly a century ago. The facts we treat are intricately detailed, and have proven resistant to several decades of attempts at description. Their theoretical implications, however, have often been taken to be quite substantial. We agree they are substantial; but the theoretical lessons we shall draw at the end of this paper will run completely counter to those that have been standardly drawn from these phenomena.
