Extract

It is well known that to make a satisfactory description of the sound system of a language it is necessary to go beyond the enumeration and characteristics of the various phonemes used in the phonological system of the language. This implies, among other things, determination of the positions in the word in which the phonemes may or may not occur and the amount of use made, or functional yield, of the phonemes.
