| [noun] | |||
| definition | [grammar] allophone | ||
| notes | An allophone is the phonetic realization of a phoneme, that is, a particular phonetic instance of some abstract meaning-carrying unit in a language. For many phonemes, variation is permitted, and the set of these variations, or allophones, taken together, define the phoneme. For example, in the Bangkok dialect of Thai, some speakers may substitute [l] for /r/ so that เรือ /rɯ̄ːa/ is pronounced [lɯ̄ːa]. Thus we could say that, for these speakers, [l-] is an allophone of /r-/. | ||
