[Phonology] Phonemes, Allophones, and Minimal Pairs

I introduce phonemes, allophones, minimal pairs, and complementary distribution. We also review the consonants and vowels in IPA.

I can't thank you enough for this video. I read it three times in my textbook and I just couldn't grasp it until I heard your lecture!

I just watched this video, I have a phonology exam tomorrow morning, wish me luck^^

[sylvesterokoro]

Thank you so much....I am writing Phonology of English Exams today and this video has really helped my preparation

[emanmostafa]

Clear language, clear pronounciation, clear draws. Thank alot. Regards

Oh god, you're such a great teacher. It's only because of you i managed to score well in phonology and syntax <3 I LOVE YOUUUU MAN.

03:51 Yes, those are diphthongs, but they are not being put on a vowel chart by themselves. The vowel chart only shows the separate vowels, not diphthongs, each of them having just one place on the chart. Diphthongs are specified separately because they are gliding between those single vowels on the chart (making movements from one vowel place to another).

Thanks very informative for Linguistic students.

I should have watched this video at least 100 times before teacher selection exam in Korea. Thank you so much:)

[MohamedAli-rdrn]

Thanks a million for sharing this helpful lecture. I'm incredibly grateful for all your support 🙏 without you, I couldn't have understood this.

[me_lero]

Your voice reminds me of Casually Explained :) Awesome videos, thank you!

[HamiidNouasria]

This helped have an idea about Phonology, the only problem is that I have an exam in it tomorrow

[matteo-ciaramitaro]

great video, but your example for the voice th was thanks, that's a bit of a controversial choice. that's unvoiced for a ton of places

Just seeking clarification. You mentioned that the two words "Abe and "ape" are not minimal pairs- reasoning is because the final phonemes are different AND because the long a sound /eI/ is also different in each word. But the difference in the long a is allophonic, not a phoneme change. So in that sense, why would the allophonic variation in the long a sound (i.e., one shortened and one not) be considered a second phoneme change? And if it is, then wouldn't it have to follow, for example, that the word "pie" with aspiration of /p/ and the word "pie" produced without aspiration of /p/ are minimal pairs? My understanding of minimal pairs has been that there is a single phoneme change, not an allophonic change because allophones don't signal meaning and are not contrastive in English.

It is important to say in which way the phones are perceived as the same "sound", because phonemes are not sounds, the many phones to a phoneme can be heard with very clear distinction, its false and impractical to say that they are perceived as the same, acctualy they are more like different sounds that just work inside the language so in the head of a speaker in similar ways, showing up in different enviorments or being changeble in the same enviorment without changing the meaning of a word.

2:53 /ð/ as in “thanks”? Who says it like ðat?

[oumyaya]

Thank you for this amazing video. I have a question though, what is the difference between a phone and allophone? Is the latter used for the vowel phonemes and the former for consonants? Because you used the term phone to talk about the different [p] while you used allophone to describe the different diphthongs [ĕı] and [eı].
I am a little confused

[pardonmyfrench]

First of all, thanks a lot actually that was a hell of a help, but what if I encountered two sounds that minimal pair test has not resulted in finding out the allophone from the phoneme, what should I do next .. I know that there are at least three tests after undergoing the process of minimal pair. what are they and how can I do it.
Second, are there exercises for the processes of distinguishing phonemes and allophones of another language that I can work on? I have an exam next Monday, I will be grateful for assistance.

[hussamhussein]

Thanks for information, it 's really helpful . and we are looking for more especially about feature Geometry, and optimality theory .

[fidaa]

r is an alveolar sound not palatal, right ?
