Chapter four of the Finegan book: what are the different sounds that define each language?

• Phonemes are the structural elements of the sounds of a language.

• Allophones are basically different forms of the phoneme that represent the same thing in that language.

  • Example - regular [p] versus the aspirated [p].
    • pot - aspirated [p]
    • spot - non-aspirated [p]

These both represent the same phoneme in English. However, they are not the same phoneme in Korean.
