Glossary of Linguistic  Terms
minimal pair /ˌmɪnɪməl ˈpeə/ disclosed
In establishing the set of phonemes of a language, it is usual to demonstrate the independent, contrastive nature of a phoneme by citing pairs of words which differ in one sound only and have different meanings. Thus in BBC English ‘fairy’ /feəri/ and ‘fairly’  /feəli/ make a minimal pair and prove that r and l are separate, contrasting phonemes; the same cannot be done in, for example, Japanese since that language does not have distinct r and l phonemes.
distribution /ˌdɪstrɪˈbjuːʃən/
A very important aspect of the study of the phonology of a language is examining the contexts and positions in which each particular phoneme can occur: this is its distribution.
In looking at the distribution of the r phoneme, for example, we can see that there is a major difference between BBC pronunciation and General American: in the former, r can only occur before a vowel, whereas in the latter it may occur in all positions like other consonants. It is possible to define the concepts of ‘vowel’ and ‘consonant’ purely in terms of the distributions of the two groups of sounds: as a simple example, one could list all the sounds that may begin a word in English – this would result in a list containing all the consonants except ŋ and all the vowels except ʊ. Next we would look at all the sounds that could come in second place in a word, noting which initial sound each could combine with. After the sound æ, for example, only consonants can follow, whereas after ʃ, with the exception of a few words beginning ʃr, such as ‘shrew’, only a vowel can follow. If we work carefully through all the combinatory possibilities we find that the phonemes of English separate out into two distinct groups (which we know to be vowels and consonants) without any reference to phonetic characteristics – the analysis is entirely distributional.

MEMO

DEAR Students,

the present module is VERY short!

SO, please, DON'T gorget to deploy all your activities materials (presentations, reports etc.) in a specified folder Module_2 on the corporate disk and send the active link your teacher.

Send your presentation materials to your teacher (on the week-end) first before you are going to take the floor in order to manage making proper amendments on time.    

PS. NEVER forget to come to classes well-prepared - that is review the lectures thoroughly and get prepared for dictation and testing.

PPS. Solving linguistic tasks is a VERY good idea.

PPS. Get ready for a huge Review Dictation at the last seminar in the module.
