What are phonemes and allophones?

[@AzeLinguistics]

* complementary distribution

[@matthewbartsh9167]

Good vid, but it should have been [s] and [z] (not /s/ and /z/) are in contrastive distribution, so that you were comparing like with like, and not being circular (slashes indicate phonemes which by definition are in contrastive distribution). Phonemes are the smallest *word* (not meaning) distinguishing unit in a language. Adding a rising tone in English changes the meaning of an utterance from a statement to a question. That does not mean that a rising tone in English is a phoneme, because it does not change any word into a different word.

In Spanish, [s] and [z] are allophones, as no Spanish word contains the [z] sound. This allophony is most common in the dialects of Colombia and the west of Venezuela

Thank u this is so helpful

[@Maich38]

I'm not a native english speaker and I'm so very confused when it comes to phones and phonemes. I get and know all the facts, but I still don't fully understand the difference... Why are [p] and [b] two different phonemes and not two different phones? Just for the semantic meaning? Is /p/ only a sound and [p] we can put in a word that later has a semantic meaning? I'm so sorry for this, I hope you'll reply and help :) PS: thanks for the videos!

[@AzeLinguistics]

/b/ and /p/ are two morphemes in English because 'back' and 'pack' mean two different things, i.e. they are a minimal pair.

[@husseinenglish7588]

[@mdarmanahmed2387]

[@drtaraknathchattopadhyay1776]

Good lecture.

[@pxgvsvs]

So if we had a language with a set of only two words "Cat" and "Tap" , both meaning lets say the Sun, them /k/ and /t/ wouldnt be conclude to be different phonemes dispite the noticeble difference between the [k] and [t] sounds?

[@AzeLinguistics]

The key is "noticeable". In a language where two sounds are allophones of the same phoneme, the allophones would not be cognitively 'noticeably' different.

In English /h/ and /ŋ/ have no minimal pairs but are different phonemes. This is because the sounds do not resemble each other at all.
