भाषाविज्ञान - Phonology

the final part of a syllable, occurring after the nucleus

the central and typically sonorous part of a syllable, usually occupied by a vowel or a vowel-like sound

the initial sound or sounds of a syllable that come before the vowel, forming the beginning part of a syllable and can consist of one or more consonant sounds

a sequence of two or more consonant sounds that occur together without an intervening vowel in a syllable

a pair of words in a language that differ in meaning by only one phoneme, demonstrating that the phoneme contrast is significant for distinguishing words

a systematic pattern or process in a language that governs the way phonemes or sounds interact with each other, influencing their pronunciation or distribution within words and sentences

a phonological process where a sound becomes more similar to a neighboring sound in terms of one or more of its phonetic features

the phonological process of omitting or deleting a sound or sounds in connected speech, typically in order to facilitate smoother and faster pronunciation

a phonological process in which two similar or adjacent sounds in a word become less similar or distinct from each other

a phonological process in which a sound or phoneme is inserted into a word, typically to break up a consonant cluster or improve phonotactic constraints

a phonological process in which a sound or phoneme is removed or omitted from a word

a characteristic or property of a sound that distinguishes it from other sounds in a particular language

the way speech sounds are connected and organized, including pauses, sound blending, and overall rhythm, influencing word boundaries and speech interpretation

a phonological process in which sounds or syllables in a word are rearranged or switched positions, resulting in a change in the order of phonemes or syllables within the word

the phonological process in which phonemic distinctions between sounds are lost or neutralized in specific phonetic contexts, resulting in a single phonetic realization

the relative loudness, prominence, or audibility of speech sounds, often associated with their acoustic properties and the degree of constriction in the vocal tract during their production

a type of language where the syllables are organized in a way that the stressed syllables occur at relatively regular intervals, resulting in a rhythmic pattern of speech

a type of language where each syllable is given roughly equal time and stress, resulting in a more evenly paced and rhythmic pattern of speech

a phonological process where a consonant becomes weaker or less prominent in terms of articulation, often resulting in its softening, reduction, or loss of certain features

a phonological phenomenon in Japanese where the initial consonant of the second element in a compound word undergoes voicing or consonant softening

the phonological process in which the pronunciation of sounds changes when they occur in specific phonetic contexts or in continuous speech

a phonological process where a consonant undergoes systematic changes in its articulation or voicing depending on its position within a word or in certain morphological contexts

a phonological process in which vowels within a word or across adjacent words become more similar or assimilate to each other in terms of certain phonetic features

the phonological phenomenon where the tone of a word or syllable changes based on its position or interaction with neighboring tones, typically occurring in tonal languages

a language in which variations in pitch or tone can distinguish different words or convey different meanings

the overlapping and blending of language elements, such as sounds or grammatical structures, within speech or writing

(phonetics) the omission or loss of one or more sounds from the pronunciation of a word

a pair of characters used to represent a single sound, such as "sh" or "th", in phonetics or linguistics

the process of producing a sound with nasal resonance, where air flows through the nasal cavity while a sound is being articulated

the process of adding sounds, typically vowels or consonants, into a word or morpheme that are not present in its underlying or base form

a phonological process in which a sound or phoneme is added at the beginning of a word, typically to facilitate pronunciation or conform to phonotactic constraints

a phonological process in which voiced consonants at the end of a word are pronounced as voiceless

a phonological phenomenon where a vowel in a word changes systematically to indicate grammatical or derivational distinctions, often resulting in different word forms or meanings

a phonological process in which a sound is modified or assimilated to match a neighboring sound that comes after it

a phonological process in which a repeated or similar sequence of sounds within a word or phrase is simplified or deleted, resulting in the loss of one of the similar elements

a phonological process in which a voiceless consonant between two vowels becomes voiced, typically due to the influence of the surrounding vowel sounds

the process in which a vowel in an unstressed position or in a particular phonological context becomes centralized or weakened, resulting in a reduced vowel quality

a phonological process in which a sound, typically a consonant, becomes palatal or acquires palatal characteristics under the influence of a neighboring palatal sound or due to the position within a particular linguistic environment

a phonological process in Sanskrit and other Indo-Aryan languages where a vowel lengthens or becomes long as a result of specific phonetic and phonological conditions, often related to the presence of certain consonants or morphological factors

the linguistic phenomenon where two or more adjacent words merge together, typically resulting in the contraction or fusion of sounds or syllables

a phonological phenomenon where a consonant sound is not pronounced in a particular position within a word or a specific language context, often resulting in a phonetic gap or absence of sound

any of the variant forms of a morpheme, which are phonetically or phonologically conditioned

the phenomenon where certain sounds or phonetic patterns are associated with specific meanings or qualities, often independent of linguistic convention or arbitrary assignment

a unit of phonological timing that determines the length or duration of a syllable or a vowel sound

a silent or phonetically empty form of a morpheme that represents its absence in certain linguistic environments

a phonological process in which one or more consonants in a consonant cluster are omitted or simplified in pronunciation

a phonological process or phenomenon where a non-"r" sound is changed or replaced by an "r" sound, commonly observed in language evolution or dialectal variations

a word or phrase or sentence that is read the same backward as forward

a word that mimics the sound it represents

a recurring sound pattern or sequence of phonemes that is associated with a particular meaning or connotation in language
