Document Summary
Q: given the following data set, determine whether or not [n] and [ ] are separate phonemes: [tinta, [t nda, [dantsa, [ne o, [ nte, [sapone, [ti go, [t go, [fu go, [bja ka] k. [a ke, [fa go] Steps: (1) look for each instance of the [n] and [ ] in the dataset, making two columns one for each sound. [n] (2) go through the data set for the rst sound, [n], and list the environments in which you nd it (i. e. , what sounds / word boundaries occur around it?) Do the same for the second sound, [ ]. Use ____ (underscore) to represent where the sound in question occurs. Write the preceding symbol before the underscore (e. g. , i____) and the following sound after it i___t l___m. If the sound in question occurs at a word boundary, use a # (number sign) #___t (word-initial) i___# (word- nal: look at the sounds preceding / following the sounds in question.
