| | Phoneme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The phonemic relationship of two sounds may not be obvious to a non-native speaker, which is why minimal pairs and an understanding of phonetic environments are important. | | | This is true at both ends of the scale: Chinese characters are first and foremost symbols of meaning, but they do also have some minimal phonetic information. | | | In the environments where they don't contrast, the contrast is said to be neutralized. |

| | Even if you can't find a minimal pair, you may be able to demonstrate that the two sounds appear in overlapping environments, or in other words, that nothing about their environments can be used to predict which sound will appear. | | | As we saw from the vowels in the Lamba problem, we can't always look only at the immediately adjacent segments to determine what phonological environments are relevant. | | | A minimal pair is quick and easy proof that the two sounds are contrastive -- after all, the two sounds are used in the language to make contrasting words. |

| | This is because mistakes with minimal pairs do not simply impair understanding; they can lead students to believe that they understand when in fact they are quite mistaken. | | | For classes that find the activity particularly difficult, one way of easing students into it is to start with minimal pairs of one kind and slowly expand the deck each class. | | | Though minimal pairs are addressed by many language learning texts, they generally do so in a brief, one time activity or some simple repetition. |

| | 1999; The production and perception of minimal pair contrasts by pediatric cochlear implant users |
| | Percent correct scores were submitted to correlational analyses to determine relations among the three measures, as well as among consonant and vowel feature classes in the two minimal pairs tasks. | | | In general, however, intelligibility and perception feature classes tended to exhibit more variance than corresponding production classes, so that individual perception classes correlated more highly with intelligibility than did corresponding production classes. | | | The concept of "contrast" is central to the analysis of languages, for it is by means of the contrastive nature of speech sound segments that languages can form large numbers of words from relatively small repertoires of segments. |

| | It must be possible to represent every utterance of the language as a string of phonemes. | | | A phonemic analysis is a process that takes as its input either (1) a set of utterances, transcribed phonetically or (2) a speaker of a language, and produces a set of symbols which represent distinct phonemes. | | | The set must be minimal, in the sense that there may be no smaller set of phonemes that satisfies the conditions for phonemic analysis. |

| | Minimal pair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, which differ in only one phoneme, toneme or chroneme and have a distinct meaning. | | | In different languages only some of these may occur and the number of phonemes formed may be different again. | | | Phonemic differentiation may vary between different dialects of a language, so that a particular minimal pair in one accent is a pair of homophones in another. |

| | Pairs of words or morphemes that differ minimally from each other: MINIMAL PAIRS. | | | So minimal pair isolation is a TOOL we can use; it is not a principle, it is a shortcut method that can help us find the minimal distinctions of the language; if we made charts and graphs we would discover that the minimal pairs show contrasts in identical environments. | | | We are not looking for the minimal pairs as an end in themselves, but the minimal phonological distinctions, so as to eventually isolate the phonemic contrasts, or phonemic distinctions, and establish the minimal phonemic inventory for the language in question. |

That is, the allophonic variation is predictable from the environment. | | | A minimally phonologically distinctive pair of words establishes a minimal distinctive linguistic sound, known as a PHONEME, from among the acoustically distinguishable sounds in a language, known as the phones of the language. | | | To establish the phonemes of a language such MINIMAL PAIRS, two words differing in just one distinguishable sound (hence 'minimal'), must be found for all the phonemes. |
