1 /f nAl dZi/ /t/ [/] [t˘] [tH] [t] English 306A; Harris

2 Sets /water/ [ice] [steam] [water] English 306A; Harris

3 Sets /water/ Prototype [ice] [steam] [water] English 306A; Harris

4 [water] [ice] [steam] Sets Prototype English 306A; Harris
WATER IS THE DEFAULT CASE. IF H20 SHOWS UP ANYWHERE, WE ASSUME IT IS LIQUID. But under conditions of freezing or evaporation, we have different material realizations. English 306A; Harris

5 /t/ & [t] phones, phonemes, allophones
[/] [t˘] [tH] If you get a /t/--or, more precisely, a voiceless alveolar stop--in English, the default will be the vanilla flavoured, alveolar, unaspirated, unlengthened variant. Special conditions: beginnings of stressed syllables, before another alveolar stop, before a voiced sound, you get special variants. [t] English 306A; Harris

6 Phonemic - phonetic /p√k/ [pH√k|] English 306A; Harris

7 Phone, phoneme, allophone
[tH] [t] [/] /t/ = [t|] [t˘] [R] English 306A; Harris

8 Phone, phoneme, allophone
Phone: a speech sound Phoneme: set of related speech sounds Allophone: a member of a set of related speech sounds (i.e., an allophone is a member of a phoneme) Phone: a speech sound <CLICK> Phoneme: set of related speech sounds <CLICK> Allophone: a member of a set of related speech sounds (i.e., an allophone is a member of a phoneme) <CLICK> /t/ [tH] English 306A; Harris

9 Phone, phoneme, allophone
A noise systematically exploited by communities of language users to construct signifiers A concrete thing, not an abstract thing Language independent Watch for the brackets [tH] English 306A; Harris

10 Phone, phoneme, allophone
A mental entity, not an acoustic entity An abstract notion, not a concrete notion Language dependent Watch for the slashes /t/ English 306A; Harris

11 Phone, phoneme, allophone
Represented by one of the allophones (the least predictable, most basic one), but not pronounceable A critical diagnostic: the minimal pair pill till kill bill dill gill fill sill shill hill chill Jill will mill rill Lil nil English 306A; Harris

12 Phone, phoneme, allophone
Does not make sense except in terms of some specific phoneme There is no such thing as “an allophone”, only “an allophone of some phoneme” It is defined by its relationship to a phoneme /t/ [tH] English 306A; Harris

13 Phone, phoneme, allophone
[tH] is not “an allophone”, it is “an allophone of /t/ (in English)” English /t/ [tH] English 306A; Harris

14 Phone, phoneme, allophone
A phone can be an allophone of more than one phoneme (in a given language). English /t/ /d/ [R] English 306A; Harris

15 Phoneme: easy to hear Allophone: hard to hear
[R], [d], [D] Spanish English English 306A; Harris

16 Phoneme*: easy to hear Allophone: hard to hear
[R], [d], [D] * Phonemic distinctions English 306A; Harris

17 Phoneme: easy to hear Allophone*: hard to hear
[R], [d], [D] * Allophones of the same phoneme English 306A; Harris

18 Phoneme: easy to hear Allophone: hard to hear
English Spanish soda [soR´] toro [toRo] dough [do] donde [dAnde] though [Do] todos [toDos] English 306A; Harris

19 Phoneme: easy to hear Allophone: hard to hear
English Spanish easy hard [d] vs [D] [d] vs [R] [R] vs [D] [D] vs [R] English 306A; Harris

20 Phoneme: easy to hear Allophone: hard to hear
English Spanish /d/ [R] [d] /d/ [D] [d] /D/ [D] /r/ [R] [r] English 306A; Harris

21 Phone, phoneme, allophone
A phone can be an allophone of different phonemes in different languages. English Spanish English Spanish /t/, /d/ /r/ /D/ /d/ Something some students have trouble with is thinking of phones as more-or-less absolute things, like atoms or molecules, but thinking of allophones and phonemes in RELATIVE terms. That can be a stumbling block. But they are highly relative. What is a phoneme in one language may not be in another. What is an allophone of one phoneme in one context, isn’t in another. Take these two phones <CLICK> They are both part of the phonetic inventories of Spanish and English, but in different ways. They are members of different sets. Let’s look at the phonemic level <CLICK> 3 of them are phonemes of English <CLICK> 2 of them are phonemes of Spanish<CLICK> What does this mean? (mental conception, sets of allophones) Now, what are the set relationships? The flap is an allophone of both English phonemes, /t/ and /d/ <CLICK> But in Spanish it is an allophone of /r/. <CLICK> What about eth? In English, it is an allophone of eth, the voiced interdental fricative. <CLICK>In Spanish, it is an allophone of /d/, the voiced alveolar stop. <CLICK> The English groupings go this way <CLICK>. The Spanish groupings go this way <CLICK> [R] [D] English 306A; Harris

22 Phone, phoneme, allophone
A critical diagnostic: complementary distribution Phonetic similarity + mutually exclusive neighborhoods [pHIl] [spIl] [lIp|] English 306A; Harris
