Allophones
No two realizations of a phoneme are the same. This is true even when the same word is repeated.l
Variants of the same phoneme show consistent phonetic differences. Such consistent variants are referred to as ALLOPHONES.l
Allophones are different realizations of the same phoneme.l
/k/ in "key" and "car" is realized differently due to the difference in position of the two vowels.l
In a way, a phoneme is seen as an ideal object while allophones as its physical manifestations.l
The number of allophones in a language is unlimited.l
The difference between allophones is the phonetic difference, which does not change the meaning of the word.l
