Abstract

Many English-based loanwords undergo the phonotactic nativization in mandarin phonology. This paper reviews phonological deletion and phonological preservation as two common patterns of achieving phonological adaptation in mandarin Chinese. Notably, the discussion mainly focuses on English-based loanwords in mandarin Chinese. The phonological adaptation is then reflected with gaps in current studies and implications on teaching.
