Different factors have been claimed to affect the choice of repair on English words with ill-formed Cantonese phonotactics in Cantonese loanword phonology. The first half of this paper presents experimental evidence showing that variation is observed only when repairing different onset cluster types: there is vowel epenthesis for s + consonant (sC) clusters but deletion of the second consonant for other (OR) clusters. I propose that the Syllable Mapping Grammar (SMG), the syllable structure mapping component of the perception grammar, drives such variation: Cantonese speakers assign different phonological representations based on cluster well-formedness. When they perceive words with an sC cluster, their SMG assigns [s] as syllabic. A full OT grammar is also provided. I present evidence for the knowledge of cluster well-formedness from speakers of languages like Cantonese where complex onsets are absent. Potential sources of such knowledge and other alternatives to my proposal are also discussed.

再次探讨粤语外来语音系中的音韵修复：这全是关于sC

在广东外来语音韵学中，有多种因素影响英语拼写错误的英语单词的修复选择。本文的前半部分提供了实验证据，表明仅在修复不同的发作簇类型时才观察到变异：s +辅音（sC）簇存在元音，而其他（OR）簇则缺失第二个辅音。我建议，音节映射语法（SMG）是感知语法的音节结构映射组件，它会驱动这样的变化：粤语发言人基于聚类的格式正确性分配不同的语音表示。当他们用sC群集感知单词时，他们的SMG将[s]指定为音节。还提供了完整的OT语法。我提供了证据，证明了从缺乏广东话等复杂语言的讲广东话的人那里学到的聚类结构良好的知识。还讨论了此类知识的潜在来源以及我的建议的其他替代方法。
