Document Summary

Distinguish an allophone from a phoneme: variant pronunciations of particular phonemes. Complementary distribution say the same phone in two ways because of the phonetic environment, e. g. /l/s in little, two sounds but not individual phonemes, also another e. g. g in words get and got. Free variation e. g. fi(cid:374)al sou(cid:374)d i(cid:374) (cid:449)ord (cid:862)pop(cid:863) sou(cid:374)d (cid:272)a(cid:374) (cid:271)e released or unreleased, the phonetic environment has no bearing on whether the /p/ will be exploded. Phonetic symbols: symbols of the international phonetic alphabet (ipa) used to represent allophones or phonetic variants of phonemes. // (virgules) or [] (brackets) are used. May have allophonic variation indicated by use of diacritic marks. Pre- and post- vocalic: syllables usually contain a vowel, we may talk about where the consonant is in terms of its proximity to a vowel. Prevocalic consonant + vowel e. g. in the (cid:449)orld (cid:862)tu(cid:271)(cid:863) the /t/ Postvocalic (cid:448)o(cid:449)el + (cid:272)o(cid:374)so(cid:374)a(cid:374)t, e. g. i(cid:374) the (cid:449)ord (cid:862)tu(cid:271)(cid:863) the /(cid:271)/
