Citazioni

[…] while each segmental phoneme represented on the spectogram would vary somewhat from one occurence to another, it would have a recognizable and distinctive pattern. In a way, this expectation is confirmed, for it is possible, […], to detect each successive phoneme as represented on the spectogram. Let us call each such representation an ‘acoustic allophone’. […] acoustic allophones are ‘numerous’, ‘diverse’, ‘intersecting’, and ‘overlapping’.
