Types of Distributions

Contrastive distribution: Sounds X and Y can occur in the same


phonetic environments and produce different meaning

Complementary distribution: Sounds X and Y cannot occur in


the same phonetic environments and do not change the meaning.

Free variation: Sounds X and Y can occur in the same


environments but the choice does not affect the meaning of the
word

Phonological Rules

The mapping between phonemic and phonetic elements can be


described using phonological rules.

stops.

Natural Class
A natural class is a group of sounds in a language that share one
or more articulatory or auditory property, to the exclusion of all
other sounds in that language.

All and only the sounds in a language that share a particular


property or set of properties.
Natural Class
Two very useful natural classes are:

obstruents: oral stops, fricatives, affricates


sonorants: nasals, liquids, glides, vowels

Sonorants are LOUDER than obstruents!


A sonority hierarchy or sonority
scale is a ranking of speech sounds by
amplitude. For example, vowels
produce a much louder sound than
stops.

Sonority hierarchies are especially


important when analyzing syllable
structure.

•  /i/ becomes voiceless between [p] and [s], [k] and [s],
and [k] and [t]

Distribution of Mokilese Voiceless Vowels
The voiceless allophones occur between the consonants p_s, k_s,
k_t, p_k, and s_p, and nowhere else. The only vowels that have
voiceless allophones, /i/ and /u/, belong to the class of high
vowels. Thus, we can make a complete statement of the vowel
allophones of /i/ and /u/ as follows:

In Mokilese, voiced vowels are basic (underlying). The high


vowels have voiceless allophones between voiceless consonants,
and voiced allophones elsewhere
