As you all know, in our class today (15/3/2011), we have learned about Syntax. In addition, Ms.Sarada did tell us about Allophone.
So, what do you understand about Allophone? Discuss it and support your answer with examples.
Remember!!
Do not copy and paste from your research, elaborate it in your own words.
Have a good try, mates!! Cheers~ ;)

Allophone means the way of represent a word. A phoneme may have several allophones, related sounds that are distinct but do not change the meaning of a word when they are interchanged. The sound corresponding the the letter 't' in 'tea' and 'trip'are not in fact quite same. The positioon of the tongue is slightly different when producing the particular word. Thus, the [t] in 'tea' and the [t] in 'trip' are allophones of the phoneme /t/
ReplyDeleteAn allophone is a phonetic variant of a phoneme in a particular language. Or it can be explained as the members of the family 'phoneme'. For example, the /l/ sound is pronounced in ‘love'.
ReplyDelete/l/..what type is it ?...and it is the allophone of ..?
ReplyDeleteAn allophone is a phonetic variant of a phoneme in a particular language or can be described as sounds that are merely phonetic variants of the same phoneme are allophones.
ReplyDeleteIn English, [p] and [ph] are allophones of the /p/ phoneme. Switching allophones of the same phoneme won't change the meaning of the word: [sphIt] still means 'spit'.
Switching allophones of different phonemes will change the meaning of the word or result in a nonsense word: [skIt] and [stIt] do not mean 'spit'.
another example of it..
ReplyDeleteFor example, [tʰ] (as in top) and [t] (as in stop) are allophones for the phoneme /t/ in the English language.

ReplyDeleteAllophone are the linguistically non-significant variants of each phoneme.in other words,a phoneme may be realised by more than one speech sound and the selection of each variant is usually conditioned by the phonetic environment of the phoneme.
ReplyDeleteAllophone means that is a representation multiple spoken sounds or phones that used to pronounce the word in English language. Both vowels and consonants have allophones. It’s a single variation of a certain vowel. When we are speaking of vowels or consonants, it is considered that we are speaking of sound but not the letters or alphabet which is representing the sounds. For example ‘P’ in “past” and “spoon”, we can notice that the two sounds are pronounced differently. So overall here that means that we pronounce the ‘p’ sound in the two different ways depending on its phonological environment
ReplyDeleteAllophone is how we say the word or phoneme although the same sound. Allophone also is any of the members of a class of speech sounds that, taken together, are commonly felt to be phoneme.
ReplyDeleteFor example:
/t/ sounds: toe, stow, tree, hatpin, catcall, cats, catnip, button, metal, city
- a speech sound constituting one of the phonetic manifestations or variants of a particular phoneme.
hye everyone....have a good day^^
ReplyDeleteAllophone is a spoken sounds (or phones) used to pronounce a single phoneme.
An allophone is a phonetic variant of a phoneme in a particular language.
For example;
•[p] and [pH] are allophones of the phoneme /p/.
•[t] and [tH] are allophones of the phoneme /t/.
tqvm.....^^
one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds (or phones) used to pronounce a single phoneme
ReplyDeleteA phoneme is manifested as one or more phones (phonetic sounds) in different environments. These phones are called allophones.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, i'm actually still not clear with 'allophone' but i'm trying my best..this is what i understand about this topic..
ReplyDelete• An allophone is one of the similar phones , that belong to the same phoneme
• Different pronunciation of same phoneme- by using different allophone it don’t change the meaning.
Example
The /l/ sound is pronounced differently in ‘love' and in ‘wool'. These two words contain allophones of the phoneme /l/.... i Guess im in the right track ...hehehehhe...tc guys
hai peeps..!
ReplyDeleteallophone is a phonetic variant of a phoneme in a particular language. for example, [p] and [ph] are allophone of a phoneme /t/(top-which is aspirated) or /t/ (of stop-not aspirated)
ps to miss sarada:sorry if my answer might be same with others... but this the note that i have and found
Allophone
ReplyDeleteIt refers to pronunciation which we use in our daily life.It related with phonetic. For example,
bed-bit-bat
Pool-spoon
Dom-dumb
Allophone can be defined as a sound that is slightly different from another sound,although both sounds belong to the same phoneme and the difference does not affect meaning.For example,the/l/ at the beginning of 'little' is different from the/l/ at the end.
ReplyDeleteAllophone is a phonetic variant of a phoneme in a particular language. It refers to how you pronounce the phoneme although the sound is the same. It is all about your mental realization. For example, the sound of "p" of "poke" and "spoke" are actually different. Both of the sound of "p" in these two words are the allophones of the phoneme /p/. "Poke" need to be pronounced with aspirated /p/ while "spoke" need to be pronounced as unaspirated /p/.
ReplyDeleteAnother example would be, "cool" and "cold". When you see both of these words, you know they must be pronounce with a /k/ sound. Therefore, "c" is the allophone of /k/.
Allophones refers to "Sounds that are merely phonetic variants of the same phoneme are allophones.

An allophone is a phonetic variant of a phoneme in a particular language. It is one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds used to pronounce a single phoneme.
For example, [ph] (as in pin) and [p] (as in spin) are allophones for the phoneme /p/ in the English language
[ph] in pin is aspirated
[p] in spin is unaspirated
it appears that voiceless stops are aspirated when they are at the beginning of a stressed syllable, but unaspirated when proceeded by a voiceless alveolar fricative.
