What is phoneme?

A basic unit of sound that is able to distinguish one word from

another in a given language.

This is DIFFERENT from a letter.

 MINIMAL PAIRS
THE BEST WAY TO FIND PHONEMES IN A LANGUAGE IS TO AWARE FOR MINIMAL PAIRS
(WORDS THAT DIFFER IN ONLY ONE SOUND)
 SPEECH SOUNDS VS. PHONEMES
Speech sounds are not bound to any given language

Phonemes are abstract

- A phoneme is actually a collection of speech sounds
- A phoneme manifests itself in different ways depending on its
environment.
 PHONEMES ARE LIKE WEREWOLVES
(FROM DAVID PETERSON)

Imagine a guy named Tony.

We learn that Tony looks different in different environments.
In the environment of a full moon, Tony looks like a wolf.
In all other environments, Tony looks like a human
Regardless of the environment, he’s always still Tony.
Note that you can predict abstract. Tony’s from based only the
environment.
