    My intro to linguistics class just started on phonolgy today, and I walked out of class not having a clue what was going on and feeling totally defeated. This video made what I learned in class today all come together and actually make sense. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for your comments! Also, Dr. Lecter, I was writing [stap] 'stop' and [tap] 'top' to demonstrate the difference between the unaspirated and aspirated [t]. Please don't eat me.

      étsh ay be Hi! Thanks for your feedback! In response to your question, basically, allophones are in complementary distribution, while phonemes are in contrastive distribution. Once you have identified that two or more sounds represent allophones of the same phoneme, you need to state the environment for each of those allophones. That is, you might notice that, for example, one allophone appears only between vowels, while another allophone occurs, for example, before nasal sounds. Of course, what counts as an allophone or as a phoneme will differ from language to language, so be sure to look closely for patterns that emerge in the dataset you are looking at. I hope that helps!

  • @rudimomen4176
    @rudimomen4176 8 років тому +147

    to check my understanding as good as enough: a phoneme is the smallest unit of sounds that distinguish one word from another while allophones are the variant pronunciation of the same phoneme, the change of phoneme results in a whole change in the words meaning in contrast to allophones they Don't change the meaning but the pronunciation of the words may sound unfamiliar
    Thank u so much it's never been so easier than this

      "a phoneme is the smallest unit of sounds", here have a little bit of misunderstanding, a phoneme is not the smallest unit of sounds, it is just the mental unit of sounds in your mind, because a phoneme just exit in your mental, the mental represent of different sounds.
