Anchor

锚位

In non-linear phonology, an application of the general use of this term to refer to a unit on which some other unit depends. For example, root nodes are said to serve as ‘anchors’ for the features which define a segment, and a segment to which another segment associates is said to be its anchor. A unit which is not may be said to be floating.

非线性音系学用语，指其他单位所依赖的那个单位。例如，根节点被称作用来定义一个音段的各个特征的“锚位”。A音段如果联接至B音段，则B音段是A音段的“锚位”。一个未“锚定”的单位可称作浮游单位。
