| Citazioni | In linguistic systems in which phonemes are restricted as to their neighbors, it is also possible to say that the phonemes have certain expectation value: after the English phonemes /par/ adding the phoneme /č/ permits us to expect the phoneme /d/ and the utterance 'parched', or the phoneme /m/ and the morpheme 'parchment', and so on, but not, say, the phoneme /z/. |
