|
Transcription of the sounds categories of a language

|
Diphthong
|
A vowel with two vowel qualities or targets.
The vowel slides from one position or target in the mouth to a second one. A diphthong is perceived and produced as a single syllable/vowel sound rather than two vowels |
|
|
Rising diphthong

|
|
|
Centring diphthong
|
First vowel quality has a less central tongue position than the second
|
|
|
Complimentary Distribution
|
When two sounds occur in mutually exclusive (different) phonetic environments. Where one sound occurs, the other one doesn't
|
|
|
What is complimentary distribution used to establish?
|
Establishes that sounds made in similar places of articulation, and in complimentary distribution, are allophones of the same phoneme
|
|
|
Arbitrariness
|
There is no logical relation/inherent connection between the phonological form of a word and it's meaning
|
|
|
Regular Sound Correspondence
|
Similar sounds found in related words from languages that have descended from a common ancestral language/proto-language
|
|
|
Proto-language
|
The now dead or extinct parent language
|
|
|
Internal Reconstruction
|
Reconstructing an ancestor or proto-language on the basis of evidence within a single language
|
|
|
Comparative Method
|
Reconstructing an ancestor language from the evidence that remains in daughter languages
|
|
|
Cognate
|
Cognate forms are forms that can be traced back to a common root
- Words that have developed from a single, historically earlier source - Developed from same reconstructed ancestral or proto-language |
