	Phonemic analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		It must be possible to establish rules of allophony: these rules specify the correspondences between the two levels of representation mentioned in (4).
		The mean lies in the correspondence rules (rules of allophony).
		Philosophy #2: Human beings are extraordinarily good at discovering the phonemic relationships (allophony rules) that structure language, and the realization that is given in the "otherwise" formulation of the allophony rule is the (psychologically) real sound-image that comprises the phoneme.

	PLM 2004: Nawrocki and Gonet
		Some studies show possible voiced velar allophony intervocallicaly (Gonet), as well as the phonological possibility of voiceless glottal articulations in pre-vocalic contexts (Gussmann).
		The high and statistically significant occurrence of glottal articulations in males seems to indicate positional allophony within the phoneme /x/.
		Despite the significance of Gender, the variability appears to be conditioned geographically, as the female informants who come from more eastern regions favoured velar articulations which generally lowered the frequency of occurrence of glottal sound for females.

	Sheli Phonology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Beyond these examples, and other historical changes, the only consonantal allophony or phonological rules that apply are when two consonants come next to each other in compounds.
		Before we begin, the maximal phonological unit is a syllable, and the maximal syllable is CVC.
		That's really all there is to say about consonantal allophony.

		It is often assumed that there is a clearly identifiable distinction between low-level phonetic variation vs. categorical allophony.
		Consequently I argue that we need a concept of integrated linguistic sound systems which are flexible - such flexibility is needed to deal with variation in the experiences and behaviour of individual speakers.
		Our models should not force us to make strict distinctions for an individual speaker (let alone a whole language) between contrastiveness and redundancy at one extreme, between categorical allophony and low level phonetic variation somewhere in the middle, and between language-specific phonetics and universal biomechanics at the other extreme.

		Taken together, these findings suggest that conditioned allophony is perceptible at some point in processing, and necessitate more nuanced models of phonology and similarity computation.
		Rather, incorporation of allophony would requires either multiple levels at which computation is carried out, or some sort of weighting mechanism.
		Thus even studies that unambiguously fail to find allophony effects cannot distinguish between at least the following two hypotheses— that such effects never exist, or that they occur at an early stage of processing but are obscured by the time behavioral responses are given.

	LINGUIST List 4.315: Velar palatalization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Hence, it looks more like a lexical rule, that a postlexical rule of allophony.
		However, it's extremely hard to track down this type of process as a genuine postlexical allophonic rule (akin to aspiration in English).
		This is despite the fact that T > CH type softenings are common as postlexical rules and in principle can easily give rise to non structure preserving alternations, and despite the frequency with which postlexical palatalization processes induce allophony in the form of secondary articulations.

		She received her Ph.D from MIT in 1980 and joined the faculty Northwestern faculty in 1989 after seven years as a Member of Technical Staff in Linguistics and Artificial Intelligience Research at ATandT Bell Laboratories.
		Her research interests include intonation, prosody, allophony, and lexical representation.
		With Mary Beckman, she coauthored the monograph Japanese Tone Structure.

		Don’t worry about consonant-length alternations that you may notice, or alternations within suffixes.
		I have fudged the stresses on some prefixed words to keep things simple, suppressed some low-level allophony, and suppressed optional variants—use caution when in Saipan.
		Tip: There are two different vowel quality alternations here, and though the alternations behave similarly they don’t behave identically, so your analyses of them won’t be exactly parallel.

	Megdevi Script - Neography Profile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		I originally created this script for my very first language, Megdevi.
		Like many first languages, Megdevi had an overabundance of phones, and no allophony.
		As a result, much of the IPA that I knew at the time was built into this script.

		Thinking about URs and predictable information under the assumptions of OT: What ranking do we infer if a particular phonological structure (such as voiced obstruents) is totally absent from a language?
		Instead, have a look at the Kongo data set on p 1 of this handout and work through what an OT analysis might look like.
		Covered: Allophony (complementary distribution) in OT: markedness-faithfulness interactions and Richness of the Base

		Date: Mon, 2 May 94 21:52:44 ESQ: Dia- vs. idio-lectal allophony?
		Unless I'm mistaken, this distinction between dialectal and idiolectal allophony has not been widely noted or cogently discussed, although it would appear to have profound implications for the claim that phonology describes what the speaker knows about the sound system.
