28、Output With the rule applied, we can get the word )解析：解析：考查音位学中的互补分布及音系规则。在该语言中，非腭音t，s，z分布在字母o，a，u，w，e 之前，而相应的腭音c， 分布在字母 i之前。因此我们的音系规则可以写为-palatal+palatal_i，此规则读作：当非腭音后面为字母 i时，此非腭音将转化为相应的腭音。因此在单词 ima中，非腭音 z因为在字母 i前面而变成了相应的腭音17.The English word unlockable has two different lexical meanings, i. e. “no

32、 things. They cannot be said to be true or false. The uttering of these sentences is, or is a part of, the doing of an action. So they are called performatives.

33、e sentences that are descriptions of what the speaker is doing at the time of speaking. For example, in the sentence, I pour some liquid into the tube.
