Abstract:	本論文探討台灣華語和中國華語在英語借詞上的音韻差異，且著重於輔音的改適不同，就音譯結果不同收集了448個單詞。根據統計分析，台灣華語與中國華語在輔音改適方面存在五個差異。本篇論文所使用的理論框架為優選理論（Optimality Theory）。基於制約排序，台灣華語和中國華語之間最顯著的差異在於忠實性制約的排序。中國華語傾向於保留所有音段和音段特徵，因此忠實性制約的排序相對較高。與中國華語相比，台灣華語更注重音節的改適。因此，當源語言具有韻尾時，為了保持音節數的一致性，傾向將韻尾刪除。台灣華語更注重音節的傾向也反映在輔音串的改適上。此外，兩岸華語對於捲舌音的改編也各有偏好。台灣華語經常將其改適成捲舌音段，而中國華語則是選擇非捲舌的音段，這也是唯一一個音段特徵在台灣華語中忠實性制約排序較高，而在中國華語中排名較低的現象。整體來說，根據制約的排序，中國華語在借詞改適上相較於台灣華語更忠實於源語言。 This thesis investigates the phonological adaptation differences of loanwords between Taiwan and Chinese Mandarin. The focus is on the adaptation of borrowed consonants. 448 words were collected. Based on the statistical analysis, there are five differences in terms of consonant adaptation between Taiwan Mandarin and Chinese Mandarin. In this thesis, Optimality Theory (OT) serves as the major framework. Based on the constraint ranking, the most significant difference between Taiwan Mandarin and Chinese Mandarin is in the ranking of faithfulness constraints. Chinese Mandarin tends to retain all segments and segmental features, and thus the ranking of faithfulness constraints is relatively high. Compared with Chinese Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin pays more attention to the adaptation of syllables. Therefore, when source language has coda, the coda segment will be deleted in order to maintain the consistency of the number of syllables. The tendency to more concentrate on syllables is also reflected in the adaptation of consonant clusters. In addition, the two countries both have their own preferences for the adaptation of retroflex. Taiwan Mandarin often adapts it to the retroflex segment, while Chinese Mandarin opts for the non-retroflex segment. This is also the only phenomenon in which the faithfulness constraint on feature that ranks higher in Taiwan Mandarin, while lower in Chinese Mandarin. On the whole, in terms of the constraint ranking, Chinese Mandarin is more faithful to the source language than Taiwan Mandarin in loanword adaptation.
