In the first meeting of S2, the first material of Advanced of Linguistic was about Phonemes, Minimal pair, Allophone, Morpheme, and
Allomorph. They were discussed highly detail by Mr. Nur Salam. Although I was
still not so getting the point of it, I attempted to note what Mr Nur Salam was
said or written in the whiteboard. Alright, I am going to explain little by
little what I got from him below.
Ok, direct to the explaining of Phoneme first. Phoneme (//) is the smallest part of a word which doesn’t have any meaning but it can different
meaning. Based on the Mr. Nur Salam, we can take the example ‘see’ = /si/ and ‘she'= /Sh/.
If we pronounce them, there are so many differences but in the symbol of the
Minimal pair is a pair of word which has only one different
meaning.
Allomorph ([]) has two definitions. For the first definition, it is
the variation of the phoneme, and the second it is the smallest part of a word which
has no meaning and it cannot difference meaning.
Morpheme ({}) is the smallest part of a word which has any meaning
but it can different meaning. Morphemes has two, they are Free Morpheme, example: book, and Bound Morpheme, example: book(s).
