Total Accountability

完全可解释性

A principle of linguistic analysis, introduced into structuralist discussion in the 1940s, whereby everything that is stated at one level of description is predictable from another. The principle is presented with reference to the relationship between phonology and morphology: every morph (and thus every phoneme) must be capable of being determined by the morphemes and tagmemes of which an utterance is composed. Notions such as empty and portmanteau morphs require special discussion in relation to this principle.

语言学分析的一条原则，本世纪40年代进入结构主义的讨论，指在一个描写平面上作出的任何说明都可以在另一个平面上预测。这条原则的提出特别与音系学和形态学的关系有关：每个语干（因而每个音位）必定可由组成一个话段的语素和法位来决定。像空语子和并合语子这类概念需参照这条原则作特殊讨论。
