In determining whether two sounds are separate phonemes or
allophones of the same phoneme, look for a minimal pair
containing those two sounds. If you don't find a minimal pair,
the two sounds represent two separate phonemes.
A. True
B. False
In determining whether two sounds are separate phonemes or
allophones of the same phoneme, if you don't find a minimal
pair, the two sounds are in complementary distribution, which
means they are allophones of the same phoneme.
A. True
B. False
