Study Notes
Phonological Rules and Natural Classes
- Phonological rules operate systematically within languages.
Natural Classes in Phonetics
- In phonetics, a natural class could be considered a group of sounds that share a common feature.
Phonemes in the Madimadi Language
- In the Madimadi language, [p] and [b] belong to separate phonemes.
- In the Madimadi language, [t] and [d] belong to separate phonemes.
Sound Environments in the Madimadi Language
- [p] appears in the Madimadi language in the environment /.
- [b] appears in the Madimadi language in the environment /.
- [t] appears in the Madimadi language in the environment /.
- [d] appears in the Madimadi language in the environment /.
Phonological Patterns
- The common feature shared by all sounds involved in a phonological pattern is a shared phonetic property.
Purpose of Incorporating Natural Classes
- The purpose of incorporating natural classes into phonological rules is to capture the systematic patterns of sound distribution in a language.
