Examples of allophone

• With the rise of metrical phonology, new light was shed on the entire question of stop allophones.

• Relative intensity of voiceless stop allophones also meets expectations.

• As an illustration, let us return briefly to the example of context-dependent lateral allophones.

• Again, the shaded areas indicate those dependents that pattern with allophones in a consistent, directional manner.

• However, the distribution of stop allophones cannot be fully stated without adjunction structures.

• A problem lies in how the allophones are categorised.

• In contrast, the results for stop aspiration duration suggest that the different voiceless stop allophones (aspirated versus unaspirated) are acquired with syllable structure.

• But we can still say that the allophone choice and the vowel and syllable duration indicate headship in general.
