Q&A for professional linguists and others with an interest in linguistic research and theory

 

The notion of 'distinctive' sounds indicates that the discussion must be limited to phoneme inventories found in a single language. To do this we can consider the largest known inventories of contrastive (i.e. which I'm taking 'distinctive' to mean for the purposes of this answer) consonants vowels and tonal features. Consonant inventories According to the World Atlas of Language Structures ...

 

I believe there was some important research published in recent decades which brought a fundamental change to the way linguists think about phonemes. Or is it that the concept of the phoneme has a...

Briefly the "soft sign" has derived from an ancient short "i" vowel but then reduced to a phonological aspect (palatalization) that affects the preceding consonant.

'to produce the sound ?' and ????? 'to produce the sound ?') as well as borrowed names and toponyms like ?? About this sound [?p ...

 

A linguistic question would be "what are the acoustic or articulatory properties of Russian ?" or "what is the correct phonological analysis of '?'". We can't teach you how to learn a language.
