| definition | [grammar] phoneme | ||
| notes | A phoneme is the simplest unit of sound that distinguishes meaning in a language. For some phonemes, phonetic variation may be permissible (regional accents or speech variation of an individual); each of these realizations of the phoneme is called an allophone. In this way, a phoneme can be considered to be the abstract or underlying representation of a set of allophones. Allophonic variation does not change the semantic content of the phoneme. | ||
