phonologist

There is some disagreement among phonologists on the arrangement and inclusion of units in the hierarchy.

Distinctive feature phonologists have also claimed that when children are learning their first language, they acquire features rather than individual phonemes.

Both of these points of view have serious weaknesses, but in fact the one-phoneme analysis is generally chosen by phonologists.

A distinctive difference in length is attributed by some phonologists to a unit called a Chroneme.

Phonologists are divided in their opinion over why written Tamil did not distinguish between voiced and unvoiced characters.

Until the 1950s, many phonologists assumed that neutralizing rules generally applied before allophonic rules.

German phonologists know these as, respectively, a Vokalviereck and a Vokaltrapez.

This simultaneous articulation is described as "Retracted Tongue Root" by phonologists.

Many phonologists have claimed that one should prefer the analysis which is the most 'economical' in the number of phonemes it results in.

Qing phonologists divided each of these categories in two based on the absence or presence of palatalization.

However, in recent developments to the theory of distinctive features, phonologists have proposed the existence of single-valued features.

However, this term does not have wide currency, and may even be unknown to phonologists who work on languages claimed to have chronemes.

Chaha is known to many phonologists and morphologists for its very complex morphophonology.

Chinese phonologists perceived these checked syllables as having concomitant short tones, justifying them as a tonal category.

Also there are no absolute phonetic references for the standard, and its usage is therefore discouraged by Danish phoneticians and phonologists.

Some phonologists have found that semivowels can be replaced with glottal stops in some varieties of Bundjalung.

Some phonologists maintain that a syllabic consonant is really a case of a vowel and a consonant that have become combined.

Previously, generative phonologists and the American Structuralists represented prosodic prominence as a feature that applied to individual phonemes (segments) or syllables.

For phonologists, "digital infinity" was made possible by the human vocal apparatus conceptualised as a kind of machine consisting of a small number of binary switches.

Not all phonologists agree that syllables have internal structure; in fact, some phonologists doubt the existence of the syllable as a theoretical entity.

Uyghur vowels are by default short, but some phonologists have argued that long vowels also exist because of historical vowel assimilation (above) and through loanwords.

Our mouthing of that last syllable would still be a little off because of what phonologists, the scientists of sounds, call "the soft t," which doesn't exist in our alphabet.

Some phonologists prefer not to specify a unique phoneme in such cases, since to do so would mean providing redundant or even arbitrary information - instead they use the technique of underspecification.

Phonologists have sometimes had recourse to "near minimal pairs" to show that speakers of the language perceive two sounds as significantly different even if no exact minimal pair exists in the lexicon.
