Allophones

Also, the symbol no longer prescribes an absolute sound value, but a family of allophones, with the current desirable model being in the centre of the box for that school or teacher or class or setting. ❋ Unknown (2010)

However, teaching these contrasts to Brazilians will probably bore them, and having Brazilian teachers tackle these contrasts will probably have them discredit pronunciation teaching, for these four sounds are clear individual phonemes in Brazilian Portuguese, and not allophones, as in Japanese for the first example and Spanish for the second. ❋ Unknown (2010)

My approach is to propose that (nearly) all (acceptable) variations of a phoneme (allophones) are to be found in the space inside the box belonging to that phoneme. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The online dictionaries which provide sound files also all have pronunciations with the allophones t̬ or ɾ rather than d, including Wiktionary, which is usually the most up to date. ❋ Unknown (2010)

They are a prismatic assembly: two straight couples, two gay couples, four single men, a single mother and her daughter, francophones, allophones, and anglophones. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In a nutshell, I'm talking about phonemes, allophones and the confusion of the former two to help explain your stem look-alikes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Thus the two s sounds could be allophones of t in word initial position. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Instinctively, I just can't let go of the idea that uvulars in PIE Proto-Indo-European were born at some point out of allophones of velars and that this allophony was initially triggered by neighbouring vowels. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Since I've already theorized that uvulars were only allophones of their velar counterparts at this stage, I've apparently treed myself into a logical pickle and I can't quite account for the source for the added uvularization i.e. the velar stop is "non-palatalized" according to traditional PIE notation, thus according to the reinterpretation of the sound system I stand by, the *-g- in *mesg- would appear to be a uvular creaky-voiced stop. ❋ Unknown (2008)

First of all, we need to tell all of our language-loving friends and neighbours of the wonderful news that even the short counterparts *i and *u don't exist much in PIE as anything other than allophones of the consonants *y and *w. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Generally speaking, the phoneme is distinguished from /d/ in terms of the absence of voice and the presence of aspiration, but various allophones do occur. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In English, the phoneme /tʰ/, like any phoneme in any language, has a few allophones available. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Based on all the known IE languages, it seems that the non-ejective stops had aspirated/breathy-voiced allophones in free variation. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Rob: "Based on all the known IE languages, it seems that the non-ejective stops had aspirated/breathy-voiced allophones in free variation." ❋ Unknown (2008)

Languages affected by it had apparently regularized the "aspirated" i.e. breathy-voiced allophones of the originally plain-voiced stops before the ejective - creaky-voiced stops became plain-voiced. ❋ Unknown (2008)

This process alone doesn't make a new phoneme however since the English sounds [g] and [gʷ] are still just allophones of a single phoneme /g/. ❋ Unknown (2007)

It is largely up to linguistics and the philosophy of it, e.g., to determine the identity conditions for phonemes, allophones, cardinal vowels, LF representations, tone groups and all the other linguistic types mentioned in §2 above. ❋ Wetzel, Linda (2006)
