It is shown that the minimal word phenomena in Chinese provide strong evidence supporting McCarthy & Prince’s minimality theorem and most importantly, as argued in this paper, that the minimal word constraint can also be extended to m...

We also examined the effect of sharing the initial tonal syllable. A significant onset preparation effect and a significant syllable pr...
