Document Summary
Review: the /l/ phoneme has four allophones in english: A b / c __ d: translate these rules into words: [-cont, -voice] [+asp] / $ __ [a voiceless stop becomes aspirated before the syllable] [+syll, -cons] [+nas] / __ [+cons,+nas] [vowels become nasal in front of a nasal constant: write the following as a phonological rule: Voiced stops become fricatives between vowels [-cont, +voiced]->[+cont]/v_v. 1) pick out the natural classes which cause or undergo phonological changes. 2) describe the allophones of a language all the details as to their pronunciation. 3) describe the phonemes only those features which can not be predicted due to their environment: this means only the features that contrast. If sounds differ in only one feature, and changing that feature causes a meaning change, that feature is distinctive (or contrastive) [ voice] pat bat, dim tim, cane gain. [ high] heat hate, boot boat, bit bet. Peti [i] petite [(cid:1852)] beat [i] bit [(cid:1852)]
