Harmonic Serialism(HS) is a derivational Optimality Theory advanced in recent years. Following the classic generative phonology,this theory assumes that the phonological mapping is indirect,the surface forms are derived after a series of intermediate steps,and the number of sound changes in each step is strictly limited. But the difference is that it is still an OT theory,with an assumption that a grammar is one of the rankings of a set of universal constraints. Unlike parallelist OT(P-OT),HS strictly observes the principle of gradualness when its Gen generates the candidate set,and thus,the phonological mappings from underlying form to surface form fully reflect the process of harmonic improvement of the candidate. As a result,the winner that the grammar finally selects is a local optimum rather than the global one. Using the comparative method,the present paper first introduces and explains the basic theoretical principles and framework of HS,and illustrates its analytic method with some examples. Then,by comparing with other related theory,the paper points out the characteristics and advantages as well as the existing problems for HS,then demonstrates both theoretical and empirical consequences that HS may bring about,and finally concludes with a brief summary of the remaining problems and challenges that this theory will be faced with
