Phoneme: smallest unit of sound that changes the meaning of a word; eg. /t/ Allophones: 2 or more similar sounds that are variants of the same phoneme; often identified by brackets; eg [t] and [th] Minimal pair: a pair of words that different meanings, but all of the same sounds with the exception of one phoneme; eg. tan" and man".
