In recent years, more and more evidence is accumulating that there is a great deal of variation as a result of morphological complexity, both at the level of phonology and at the level of phonetics. Such findings challenge established linguistic models in which morphological information is lost in comprehension or production. The present Special Issue presents five studies that investigate the phenomenon in more detail, centered around the following questions: How do morphological relations affect articulatory and phonological properties of complex words? How do articulatory and phonological properties of complex words reflect their morphological relations? What do these two questions imply about theories that address morphological relatedness at the level of sounds?

近年来，越来越多的证据表明，由于形态的复杂性，无论是在音系层面还是在语音层面，都存在大量的变异。这些发现挑战了已建立的语言模型，在该模型中，形态信息在理解或生产中丢失。本期特刊提出了五项研究，更详细地调查了这一现象，主要围绕以下问题：形态关系如何影响复杂词的发音和语音特性？复杂词的发音和语音特性如何反映它们的形态关系？对于在声音层面解决形态相关性的理论，这两个问题意味着什么？
