a. What sounds are meaningfully distinctive?
b. The environment in which phones occur in a language
c. The different forms or possible realizations of the phonemes in a language.
d. The environment in which allophones occur in a language.
- in determining whether two sounds are separate phonemes or allophones of the same phoneme, look for a minimal pair containing those two sounds. If you don't find a minimal pair, the two sounds represent two separate phonemes.
- in determining whether two sounds are separate phonemes or allophones of the same phoneme, if you don't find a minimal pair, the two sounds are in complementary distribution, which means they are allophones of the same phoneme.
