Document Summary
Phonemic > how a sound/word is represented in the mind. Phonetic > how a sound/word actually gets spoken (ex: allophones) We speak in allophones but hear in phonemes. The mental process that leads from the underlying phonemic representation to the surface phonemic form. This reads as > a becomes b in the environment between x and y. The left side represents the change that happens, to what class of sounds. The right side represents to what environment. We represent syllable boundary with greek letter s called sigma! seen below in the environment part of the picture. Phonological representations, consisting of phonemes that contain just information about contrasts / / mind. Phonetic representations, made up of allophones, that contain a lot of information about details of pronunciation [ ] mouth. Phonetic representations are derived by allowing rules to apply to the phonological representation (aka the underlying representation) Environment to apply aspiration and vowel lengthening are completely different.
