  1. R-10 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Affricate → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An affricate combines a closure with a release into friction. Whether it functions as a single phoneme depends on the sound system of the language. Its phonetic shape alone cannot settle the question.

    Aspiration → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Aspiration can distinguish phonemes or occur as a predictable variant, depending on the language. The relation separates a phonetic observation from its possible role in a phonological contrast.

    Distinctive feature → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Distinctive features describe properties that contribute to phonological contrasts. A phoneme is identified by its role in the sound system, which can be realised in more than one way.

    Coarticulation → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In coarticulation, movements for neighbouring sounds overlap and affect how those sounds are produced. A phoneme is defined by the contrasts that matter in a language. Coarticulatory variation can occur within a single phoneme.

    Minimal pair → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A minimal pair gives evidence that a sound contrast distinguishes words. Identifying the phonemes also calls for examining how the sounds pattern elsewhere in the language.

    Phoneme → Minimal pair

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Phonemes distinguish meanings in a language’s sound system. A minimal pair shows that changing one sound can distinguish two otherwise matching forms.

    Phoneme → Morpheme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A phoneme is a contrastive sound unit. A morpheme is a unit of meaning or grammatical function. Comparing them shows how contrasts in sound can help distinguish functional units.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Phonotactics examines how phonemes can combine in a language. Identifying the units that contrast and identifying their possible combinations are separate tasks.

    Sonority → Phoneme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Sonority is a dimension along which sounds can be compared. Phonemes are units that contrast within a language. Differences in sonority alone cannot establish which sounds belong to separate phonemes.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Voicing is a phonetic property. A phoneme is a contrastive unit in a language. Whether a difference in voicing distinguishes phonemes depends on the sound system.
