Exempel på 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.

• The morphology of these words does not affect the choice of allophone.

• There is an important empirical consequence of the foot-based analysis of stop allophones which cannot be derived in syllable-based theories, even with ambisyllabicity.

• This was done by reducing acceptable allophones to their standard phonemic form.

• This subtle relationship between allophones of adjacent phonemes suggests that the drive for contrast maintenance occurs at a less abstract level than the phoneme.

• The first part of the chapter is devoted to the allophony of voiced oral stops, which have continuant allophones in many contexts.

• One might wish to argue that, if various allophones are realizations of one phoneme, various 'allospells' are realizations of one 'spelleme'.

• It is assumed that both voiced and voiceless allophones of /s/ were responsible.
