Über die Wechselbeziehung zwischen Verschluß- und Reibelauten im Phonemsystem

Published/Copyright: November 12, 2009

Abstract

Bundles of distinctive features (phonemes) are classified as more or less strongly marked, depending on their commonness in the languages of the world. In the voice correlation, /g γ\ are marked, /b v/ unmarked in the voiced series. In the voiceless series, /p f/ are marked, /k x/ unmarked. Among the dental fricatives, /Θ ð/ are more strongly marked than /s z/. The existence of /p g/ implies redundancy of /f γ and inversely.
