Spell-out

拼出

In the minimalist programme, an operation which distinguishes the phonetic representation within a structural description from other kinds of information. The operation motivates the distinction between phonetic form (PF) and logical form (LF). Semantic information is not allowed in PF representations, and phonological information is not allowed in LF representations. Movements which occur before spell-out will affect the pronunciation of a sentence; those which occur afterwards will not.

最简方案术语，指一项将一结构描写内的语音表征式与其他种类的信息区分开来的操作。“拼出”是区分语音形式（PF）与逻辑形式（LF）的理据。PF表征式中不允许有语义信息，而LF表征式中不允许有音系信息。在拼出之前发生的移位会影响句子的发音；发生在拼出之后的移位则不影响发音。
