-
Broad Transcription
Phonemic - uses slash marks /p/ to capture on paper the transcription of phonemes with no reference to allophonic variation
-
Nucleus
Vowel, diphthong, or syllabic consonant. Every syllable must have a nucleus.
-
Rhyme
- Nucleus and coda (if any).
- If no coda, rhyme = nucleus:
- e.g. al though

-
Allophone
A phone that is part of a phoneme. Every phoneme has a set of allphones. Can't make minimal pairs out of set of phonetic realizations of the members of a particular phoneme. Must exhibit phonetic similarity, must not exist in contrastic environment. e.g. /ph/ is an allophone of /p/
-
Phone
A single speech sound; One of many possible sounds in the languages of the world. The smallest identifiable unit found in a stream of speech. Pronounced in a defined way. Represented between brackets [ ] ; generally include detailed information [ph] [p'].
