Document Summary

Also, there are examples of the sounds each of those stupid symbols make. Phonemes that are physically different from each other but treated and perceived as the same. Japanese people perceive row and low as the same word. When their little babies their brains are tuned into the specific language theyre learning, their brains are tuned out to the phonemes that are not relative to their language. English people do this too, don"t distinguish between long and short vowels. Grad means city graaaaaad means hail, two long vs short vowels are treated as separate phonemes aspiration in thai voiceless aspirated is very voiceless. 3 way contrast (english only has a 2 way contrast) tha is aspirated ta is voiceless da is voiced. Morphemes can be words; dog is a morpheme. Not any combination of phonemes though, has to carry meaning. Bound morphemes: morphemes that need to be combined with other morphemes to have meaning.
