| Description |
Simplified chart / decision tree to determine whether two sounds which occur in the words of a language are allophones of the same phoneme, separate phonemes, or in free variation. For explanations of terms and procedures, see articles Allophone, Complementary distribution, Minimal pair, Free variation, and Phoneme. The classic example of sounds which are in complementary distribution in a language, but which are not usually considered to be allophones of the same phoneme due to phonetic dissimilarity, is the sounds [h] and [ŋ] in English. |
