PHONOLOGY The Function and Patterning of Sounds Deny A. Kwary www.kwary.net
What phonologists do (p.68) • Making explicit statements about the sound patterns of individual languages in order to discover something about linguistic knowledge that people must have in order to use these patterns. • Discovering the general principles that underlie the patterning of sounds in human language.
Minimal Pairs (pp.70–71) • A minimal pair consists of two forms with distinct meanings that differ by only one segment found in the same position in each form. • Which one(s) of these pairs are minimal pairs? • [] and [] • [] and [] • [] and [] // and // are phonemes
Question #1 (i) and (ii), p.125 i) iglumut & iglumit /u/ & /i/ ukiaq & ukiuq /a/ & /u/ aiviq & aivuq /i/ & /u/ aniguvit & anigavit /u/ & /a/ aglu & iglu /a/ & /i/ pinna & panna /i/ & /a/ ani & ini /a/ & /i/ (redundant) (redundant) (redundant) (redundant)
Question #1 (i) and (ii), p.125 ii) Refer to the latest IPA Vowel Chart i u a
Assignment • Refer to the data on p.125, #1 (iii) • Are [i] and [] allophones or phonemes? • Are [u] and [] allophones or phonemes?
Above the segment: Syllables (p.83) Internal structure of the syllable ‘sprint’ σ Onset (O) Rhyme (R) Nucleus (N) Coda (C) n t s p r i The syllable structure is CCCVCC
Exercise: Draw and determine the structure of the following words • Stops • Fox • All • Ooze • Jumped • CCVCC • CVCC • VC • VC • CVCCC
