Presentation transcript:

Phonological Knowledge permits native speakers 1  to produce sounds that form meaningful utterances  to recognize a foreign “accent”  to invent words  to add the appropriate phonetic segments to form plurals and past tenses  to produce aspirated and unaspirated voiceless stops in the appropriate context Fromkin, Victoria, Robert Rodman & Nina Hyams An Introduction to Language, 8th edition. Boston, MA: Thomson Wadsworth, p. 256.

 to know what is or is not a sound in one’s language  to know that different phonetic strings may represent the same morpheme  to know which sounds can occur at the beginning or end of a word or syllable  to know which sounds can occur next to each other within a syllable Phonological Knowledge permits native speakers 2 Fromkin, Victoria, Robert Rodman & Nina Hyams An Introduction to Language, 8th edition. Boston, MA: Thomson Wadsworth, p. 256.

Analysis Procedure 1. Collect data. 2. Look for phonological patterns and the contexts (or environments) that show similarities or differences. (Any minimal pairs?) 3. Organize data according to patterns or contexts. 4. Identify the allomorphs and their associated environments. 5. Formulate a generalization or rule.

Phonemes “Phonemes are not physical sounds. They are abstract mental representations of the phonological units of a langue, the units used to represent the forms of words in our mental lexicons. The phonological rules apply to the phonemic representation to determine the pronunciation of the words.” Fromkin, Victoria, Robert Rodman & Nina Hyams An Introduction to Language. Boston, MA: Wadsworth, p. 285.
