0 one of the ways in which a particular phoneme (= speech sound) can be pronounced
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.
