Phoneme

音位

 

The minimal unit in the sound system of a language, according to traditional phonological theories. The original motivation for the concept stemmed from the concern to establish patterns of organization within the indefinitely large range of sounds heard in languages. The phonetic specifications of the sounds (or phones) heard in speech, it was realized, contain far more detail than is needed to identify the way languages make contrasts in meaning.

 

按传统的音系学理论指一种语言语音系统的最小单位。确定这个概念的最初动因是想为语言中听到的无穷多的语音建立一些组织型式。人们意识到,言语中听到的各种音(或音子)的语音特征包含大量多余的细节,并非是辨别语言中各种意义对立所必需的。
