PhonologyPhonology
Phonology The component of the grammar that determines the selection of speech sounds and that governs both the sound patterns and the systematic phonetic variation found in language.
Segments (phones, sounds) - what we learned from phonetics Features - parts of phones Syllables - putting phones together in a larger structure

Minimal Pairs - 2 forms with distinct meanings that differ by only 1 segment found in the same position in each form (p.59) Like 2 words that rhyme (minimal pairs test for consonants)
sip and zip show a meaningful difference between the segments [s] and [z]

What is considered a phoneme is language specific If we say in English “do Len” we can change length of vowels and consonants and it’s doesn’t change the meanings of the words - Finnish noLength in Finnish contrastive for both cons and vowels

Phonology Systematic variation - predictable changes in segments in certain environments Not all ls are the same - who was surprised?
Only voiceless [l] occurs after voiceless stop, so it is predictable.
No voiced [l] occurs in this environment.

Data from Zinacantec Tzotzil: Consider [p] and [p´] ; [k] and [k´]
Are they separate phonemes or allophones of the same phoneme?
[p´] and [k´] represent a glottalized sound, made with simultaneous closure of the glottis and constriction of the throat. (Consider them glottalized voiceless stops)
They are separate phonemes! Proof = minimal pairs: 5-12 & 3-6 & 9-11AND near minimal pairs: 1-7; 4-10; for extra support

‘small’
‘my leg’
‘to multiply’
