The phonemeSounds that are used to distinguish contrasts between words...
Are called phonemes
rat – bat cat – bat rat – cat
These are minimal pairs
This is the domain of phonology

The phoneme
The phoneme is the smallest unitof sound contrast
It may bring about a change of meaning
For ‘normal people’phoneme = speech sound
But really it’s an abstract groupingof sound variants

The allophone
Variants of one phoneme are called allophones (domain of phonetics)
Allophones of one phoneme usually have many features in common
/t/[th] [t]

AllophonesConsistent variants of the same phoneme occurring in different words or in different positions in a word or…
Contextual variants of the same phoneme or…
Different phonetic realizations of a phoneme

Why is it good to know?
Consider Polish: sieć – keks
Consider French mes – mais
Consider Eastern Polish: ława – lawa
Consider English: let – tell
Consider Spanish: donde – entrada
Consider English: then – den

Why is it good to know?
What’s a phoneme in one language
May be an allophone in another
‘Similar’ phonemes may havedifferent allophones
One of the sources of ‘foreign accent’

Contrastive distributionTwo sounds are in contrastive distribution when they are capable of distinguishing meaning;
It means that they don’t belong to the same category i.e. phoneme.
They are two different phonemes.
To check it is to find a minimal pair, e.g.: pin – bin
Or compare them in terms of voicing, place and manner of articulation
![Page 9: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Complementary distribution
Only allophones of a phoneme can be in complementary distribution
they complement each other, they never contrast,
One has occurrences which the other one doesn’t, e.g. [pʰ] and [p]
If you replace one by the other they do not distinguish the meaning
It will only sound unnatural

Voiceless plosives – Aspiration 1
Voiceless plosives are aspirated if before vowel in a stressed syllable (not after /s/):
pat [phæt] tap [thæp] cap [khæp]
but notstack [stæk] span [spæn] today [tə'deɪ]

Voiced plosives
English has voiced plosives /b d g/
At beginnings of words (like Polish)
But also (unlike Polish)
at ends of words, e.g. bad
next to voiceless sounds, e.g. bedtime
![Page 17: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Voiced plosives – Devoicing
Voiced plosives are devoiced if next to silenceor a voiceless sound
Devoicing on the left: initial devoicing
Devoicing on the right: final devoicing

All plosives: Lack of release
When another plosive follows
The first one is unreleased

Plosives: Nasal release
Consider: brudny, setny
If a homorganic nasal follows
Release is by lowering the velum

Homorganic means
Articulated at the same place

Voiceless plosives: Glottalization 1
At the end of syllable
A ‘glottal stop’ may be inserted before the
plosive
Or it may replace it completely
Most often applies to /t/

More widespread in British Eng.
But also used in American Eng.
NEVER applies to sounds other than
voiceless plosives

Syllabicity of nasals
nasals, together with [r, l], can be syllabic when they occur at the ends of words when immediately after an obstruent
the diacritic [ ׀ ] under a consonant indicates that it is syllabic
e.g. leaden, chasm

Approximants – Partial devoicing
an approximant is partially devoiced when preceded by a voiceless fricative
E.g. swim, free, fly, flee, etc.
The diacritic is used below the approximant to indicate its partial devoicing
It is used above [j], though.

Velarization of /l/
a lateral is velarized
the back of the tongue raised towards the velum, as in [u:])
after a vowel or before another consonant or in the final position
the symbol is

Syllabicity of laterals
The lateral /l/ is syllabic at the end of a word when immediately after a consonant
E.g. paddle, whistle, channel
![Page 57: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Syllabicity of /r/
In AmE, /r/ becomes syllabic when it occurs at the end of a word and after a consonant
E.g. razor, hammer, tailor
![Page 58: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Coarticulation
coarticulation takes place when sounds influence each other
![Page 59: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
59
Coarticulation
Consider Polish:
susy vs. siuśki
Is the /u/ the same?
sień vs. sen
Is the /e/ the same?
![Page 60: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
60
Coarticulation
In both cases, the palatal consonants pull the vowel
Towards the front
Upwards
![Page 61: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
61
Coarticulation
all utterances involve coarticulation
i.e. the overlapping of adjacent (neighbouring) articulations
English consonants vary their place of articulation so that they often become more like the next sound
![Page 62: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
Coarticulation
English is an anticipatory languagethe articulation of the sounds yet to come are anticipated to some extent Other languages, e.g. Italian or French, are perseverative the articulation of one sound tends to persevere, or continue, into the following sound
![Page 63: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
Palatalisation
a consonant is palatalised when followed by /i:/ or /j/
the front of the tongue is raised towards the hard palate
the diacritic is [J]

More coarticulation
Consider:
kura vs. kij
Lip rounding during /k/

66
More coarticulation
All consonants are lip-rounded before a rounded vowel
![Page 67: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
Labialisation
a consonant is labialised when followed by /w/ or a rounded vowel /u:/ /o:/
lips are rounded during the articulation of the consonant
the symbol is [W]
![Page 68: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

Good news
Some of it is the same in Polish and English
E.g. consonant lip-rounding
Or influence of /j/ on /u/
![Page 70: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

Bad news
Some of it is different
E.g. retraction of /t, d/ before /r/
![Page 71: 1 Descriptive Grammar of English Part 1: Phonetics and Phonology dr Iwona Kokorniak (with contribution from dr Jarosław Weckwerth) 14th December 2008.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5516fffa55034603568b4f86/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

More bad news
Alveolar consonants become dental
Before /θ δ/As in weight, width, tenth

73
Dentalisation
alveolar sounds [ t d n s z l ] become dental before a dental consonant
More examples: wealth, health,
at this, add them
