Document Summary
Reviewed the manner in which you are supposed to phonemically transcribe words and. Suppose you have a piece of data and you have finished the part of the analysis where you collect the contexts in which the phonemes in question are found and have the following list of transcriptions: You conclude that [t] and [t ] are allophones of a phoneme. You can say that /t/ has two variants: [t ] and [t] /t/ is the basic phonetic symbol and we use this form instead of the aspirated form because it is the underlying form (it is the consonant that contrasts). So to phonemically transcribe words, you only use the contrastive consonants. [t uk] from the above list is phonemically transcribed as /tuk/ In the handout there is a list of persian segments and we had to place them in their appropriate spots in their respective phonemic charts.
