Prosodic Phonology of the Fuzhou Dialect: Domains and Rule Application is the first attempt to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the Fuzhou phonological system from the perspective of prosodic phonology.

It addresses the following issues: What prosodic constituents exist in the Fuzhou dialect and what kinds of roles they play in the Fuzhou phonological system; how to define the domain formation of these prosodic constituents in the Fuzhou dialect; what kinds of Fuzhou phonological phenomena make crucial reference to these prosodic constituents as the domain of application; and what implications does the study of the Fuzhou phonological system have for the prosodic phonology theory.

This book is a valuable text for students and scholars in the field of Chinese dialectology, Min dialects, prosodic phonology, and phonology-morphosyntax interface.

Shuxiang You is Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Chinese Linguistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013 and 2017 respectively. His research interests include phonology, phonology-syntax interface, Chinese dialectology, and teaching Chinese as a second language.
