Phonological alternations, processes and rules
PHONOLOGY
Lane 335

صفحة 2

Phonological Rules

Two levels of representation:
1- underlying (phonemic, mental)
2- surface (phonetic)

Why do we need rules?
- link the two levels
- show when a particular allophone should show up on the surface

Alternations

The focus of phonology is finding predictable alternations between sounds; e.g. [p] & [ph] in English

There is one phoneme /p/

There is alternation in the representation of this element on the surface (phonetic) level between [p] & [ph]

This alternation is determined by the environment in which the phoneme occurs

صفحة 5

Processes

This alternation occurs due to or because of some phonological processes

For example,
The processes involved in the alternation between [p] & [ph] is ‘aspiration’

In English, a voiceless stop is aspirated when it occurs in word-initial position before a stressed vowel (not following [s])
