(this is the usual case) prespecified tones the association of a tone with a certain segment underlyingly association lines link the tonal tier to the segmental tier floating tones a tone which is not underlyingly specified for a certain segment , backness forward/backward displacement of the highest point of the tongue body Liquids) laryngeal features describe activity at the larynx (voice, spread glottis, constricted glottis) contoids consonants other that glides and laryngeals vocoids vowels and glides height position of highest point of tongue body in relation to the palate ~lateral: are the sides of the tongue lowered (only relevant for ![]() ~approximant: is airflow through the oral cavity frictionless ![]() ~nasal: is the velum lowered to allow air flow through the nasal ~strident: how noisy is the sound (fricatives and affricates) ~continuant: is the air flow through the vocal cavity blocked sonorant: is the sound produced with continuous, non-turbulent airflow in the vocal tract manner features - for distinguishing among obstruents: Allophonic rule a rule that determines the shape of a phoneme, determined by the context in which the phoneme occurs phoneme a segment whose function is to contrast forms allophone the surface realisation (pronunciation) of a phoneme, given the segmental and prosodic context in which it occurs features the formal primitives that express place, manner, and laryngeal properties of segments and serve to define natural classes distinctive feature captures a contrast in a particular language/system major class features - consonantal: is the oral cavity narrowly constricted
