Data Set B Consider the phones [f v s z x y] in the following data set, then answer the following questions. [x] is the voiceless velar fricative and [y] is the voiced velar fricative. i. fazix "oak tree' vii. ivaf 'bark' ii. xipsuvo 'dandelion' viii. ozalxu 'root iii. evoyi grass ix . iyiyis 'stem' iv . olfos 'pansy' X. uzarsivu 'grow' V. bivip 'sunflower' xi. xavazi 'plant' vi. iyaf 'seed' xii. fahsip 'leaf' a. The phones we will be looking at in this data set are [f v s z x y]. Do they have any phonetic similarity? If so, describe it below. Consider all 6 together and also look for subclasses within them. If you would like, you could draw a chart showing how they are organized into natural classes. b. Are there any minimal pairs for [f v s z x y] in the data set? Circle, highlight, or bold the appropriate answer below. i. Yes, there are minimal pairs. This indicates that these phones are allophones of the same phoneme. ii. Yes, there are minimal pairs. This indicates that these phones belong to different phonemes. iii. Yes, there are minimal pairs. This does not allow us to draw any conclusions. iv. No, there are not minimal pairs. This indicates that these phones are allophones of the same phoneme. V. No, there are not minimal pairs. This indicates that these phones belong to different phonemes. vi. No, there are not minimal pairs. This does not allow us to draw any conclusions. c. If you answered (i), (ii), or (iii) list the minimal pairs below. Otherwise, skip ahead to question (d).d. Based on your answer to question [b], what should be your next step in the phonemic analysis? yii. If it's to list and compare distributions, go to question {e}. yiii. If it's to write a phonological rule. go to question [i]. is. If you think you're finished solving this problem, you can stop here. e. List the enyironments for the phones of interest in the chart below. The first one is done for you. f. Are the phones in complementary or contrastiye distribution? Circle. highlight, or bold the appropriate answer below. it. The phones are in complementary distribution. This indicates that these phones are allophones of the same phoneme. xi. The phones are in complementary distribution. This indicates that these phones belong to different phonemes. xii. The phones are in contrastiye distribution. This indicates that these phones are allophones of the same phoneme. xiii. The phones are in contrastiye distribution. This indicates that these phones belong to different phonemes. g. Back up your answer to [f]. explaining how you came to that conclusion. h. Depending on your answers to it]; does it make sense to write a phonological rule to describe the distribution of these phones? Yes: Go to question [i] No: You are done with this data set! i. Write out the two possible phonological rules that can describe the distribution of these phones, by reversing the direction of the alternation. Possible rule 1: Possible rule 2: j. Which rule is better? Why? it. Draw the phoneme diagramls} for each relevant phoneme in the data set
