phoneme the smallest unit of sound that can distinguish
between morphemes
morpheme minimal unit of meaning
, vowel reduction occurs in unstressed syllables; vowel reduces along
the dotted line, usually moving one step in
progression centrally
ex: /i/ to "i" in bit
diphthongs reduce to monophthongs
diphthong employs a gradual transition from one vowel-like
sound to another
allophone variation of a phoneme which does not change
meaning
complementary distribution rules based on the phonetic environment. 2
allophones will not occur in the same phonetic
environment; the allophones occur in mutually
exclusive environments. Can be predicted
free variation random; allophones can occur in the same
environment
coarticulation when a sound is produced differently because of the
influence of sounds in its phonetic context
(neighborhood)
ex: key /ki/, k /k/, cow (rounded back vowel)
Assimilation the change of a sound segment whereby it takes on
characteristics of neighboring sounds, becoming
similar
spreading/shingling as if the characteristics permeate nearby sounds,
'coloring' them ex: input > imput
blending as if the proximity of 2 sounds to each other creates a
fusion, in which a hybrid sound is created (also called
co-production) ex: ASU
Anticipatory assimilation most common in English; occurs when a sound is
altered in anticipation of the sound to follow ex:
gang (velar n)
