Hello,
Would you please help me to know the differences between: Phonemes and allophones?
What I knew is that:
Phoneme: Are the smallest contrastive unite in sound system of language. It is called so because:
1. It is articulated differently. :?:
2. It occurs in the same environment. :?:
3. The change affects the meaning. That is to say any substitution of sound by another leads to a change in meaning. :?:
In the other hand: Allophone
It is the phonetic variety of phoneme in a particular language. They are:
1. Articulated differently. :?:
2. Never occurs in the same environment. :?:
3. Do not change the meaning of the word. :?:
So would you please explain for me case n° 1-2-and 3. For both: Phonemes and Allophones with examples if it’s possible for best understanding ?
I will be very thankful and do appreciate your help. :-|
