question: What school was de Courtenay a member of?
is_impossible: yes
context: Phonology is a branch of linguistics concerned with the systematic organization of sounds in languages. It has traditionally focused largely on the study of the systems of phonemes in particular languages (and therefore used to be also called phonemics, or phonematics), but it may also cover any linguistic analysis either at a level beneath the word (including syllable, onset and rime, articulatory gestures, articulatory features, mora, etc.) or at all levels of language where sound is considered to be structured for conveying linguistic meaning. Phonology also includes the study of equivalent organizational systems in sign languages.

is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from syntax and the phonological system, what else comprises a language?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from Alan Prince who brought optimality theory to morphology?
is_impossible: yes
context: Phonology is often distinguished from phonetics. While phonetics concerns the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages to encode meaning. For many linguists, phonetics belongs to descriptive linguistics, and phonology to theoretical linguistics, although establishing the phonological system of a language is necessarily an application of theoretical principles to analysis of phonetic evidence. Note that this distinction was not always made, particularly before the development of the modern concept of the phoneme in the mid 20th century. Some subfields of modern phonology have a crossover with phonetics in descriptive disciplines such as psycholinguistics and speech perception, resulting in specific areas like articulatory phonology or laboratory phonology.

question: What is Trubetzkoy considered to have founded?
is_impossible: yes

question: Besides the syllable what was downplayed as a result of SPE's influence on expansion rules?
is_impossible: yes
context: The word phonology comes from the Greek φωνή, phōnḗ, "voice, sound," and the suffix -logy (which is from Greek λόγος, lógos, "word, speech, subject of discussion"). Definitions of the term vary. Nikolai Trubetzkoy in Grundzüge der Phonologie (1939) defines phonology as "the study of sound pertaining to the system of language," as opposed to phonetics, which is "the study of sound pertaining to the act of speech" (the distinction between language and speech being basically Saussure's distinction between langue and parole). More recently, Lass (1998) writes that phonology refers broadly to the subdiscipline of linguistics concerned with the sounds of language, while in more narrow terms, "phonology proper is concerned with the function, behavior and organization of sounds as linguistic items." According to Clark et al. (2007), it means the systematic use of sound to encode meaning in any spoken human language, or the field of linguistics studying this use.

context: The history of phonology may be traced back to the Ashtadhyayi, the Sanskrit grammar composed by Pāṇini in the 4th century BC. In particular the Shiva Sutras, an auxiliary text to the Ashtadhyayi, introduces what can be considered a list of the phonemes of the Sanskrit language, with a notational system for them that is used throughout the main text, which deals with matters of morphology, syntax and semantics.

question: Who takes different approaches to the problem of assigning sounds to allophones?
is_impossible: yes
context: The Polish scholar Jan Baudouin de Courtenay (together with his former student Mikołaj Kruszewski) introduced the concept of the phoneme in 1876, and his work, though often unacknowledged, is considered to be the starting point of modern phonology. He also worked on the theory of phonetic alternations (what is now called allophony and morphophonology), and had a significant influence on the work of Ferdinand de Saussure.

question: What other discipline was combined with expansion by the generativists?
is_impossible: yes
context: An influential school of phonology in the interwar period was the Prague school. One of its leading members was Prince Nikolai Trubetzkoy, whose Grundzüge der Phonologie (Principles of Phonology), published posthumously in 1939, is among the most important works in the field from this period. Directly influenced by Baudouin de Courtenay, Trubetzkoy is considered the founder of morphophonology, although this concept had also been recognized by de Courtenay. Trubetzkoy also developed the concept of the archiphoneme. Another important figure in the Prague school was Roman Jakobson, who was one of the most prominent linguists of the 20th century.

question: What is the opposite of aspirated?
is_impossible: yes

question: What followed government optimality?
is_impossible: yes
context: In 1968 Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle published The Sound Pattern of English (SPE), the basis for generative phonology. In this view, phonological representations are sequences of segments made up of distinctive features. These features were an expansion of earlier work by Roman Jakobson, Gunnar Fant, and Morris Halle. The features describe aspects of articulation and perception, are from a universally fixed set, and have the binary values + or −. There are at least two levels of representation: underlying representation and surface phonetic representation. Ordered phonological rules govern how underlying representation is transformed into the actual pronunciation (the so-called surface form). An important consequence of the influence SPE had on phonological theory was the downplaying of the syllable and the emphasis on segments. Furthermore, the generativists folded morphophonology into phonology, which both solved and created problems.

is_impossible: yes

question: What type of grammar were phenomes first a part of?
is_impossible: yes

question: What theory is seen more in the US?
is_impossible: yes
context: Natural phonology is a theory based on the publications of its proponent David Stampe in 1969 and (more explicitly) in 1979. In this view, phonology is based on a set of universal phonological processes that interact with one another; which ones are active and which are suppressed is language-specific. Rather than acting on segments, phonological processes act on distinctive features within prosodic groups. Prosodic groups can be as small as a part of a syllable or as large as an entire utterance. Phonological processes are unordered with respect to each other and apply simultaneously (though the output of one process may be the input to another). The second most prominent natural phonologist is Patricia Donegan (Stampe's wife); there are many natural phonologists in Europe, and a few in the U.S., such as Geoffrey Nathan. The principles of natural phonology were extended to morphology by Wolfgang U. Dressler, who founded natural morphology.

question: The study of sign language is a part of what?
is_impossible: yes

question: What are from a universally important syllable?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from phonemes what is studies by geometry?
is_impossible: yes
context: In 1976 John Goldsmith introduced autosegmental phonology. Phonological phenomena are no longer seen as operating on one linear sequence of segments, called phonemes or feature combinations, but rather as involving some parallel sequences of features which reside on multiple tiers. Autosegmental phonology later evolved into feature geometry, which became the standard theory of representation for theories of the organization of phonology as different as lexical phonology and optimality theory.

is_impossible: yes

question: What part of a human does allophone processing?
is_impossible: yes

question: How does interchanging allophones of the same pheneme render words?
is_impossible: yes
context: Government phonology, which originated in the early 1980s as an attempt to unify theoretical notions of syntactic and phonological structures, is based on the notion that all languages necessarily follow a small set of principles and vary according to their selection of certain binary parameters. That is, all languages' phonological structures are essentially the same, but there is restricted variation that accounts for differences in surface realizations. Principles are held to be inviolable, though parameters may sometimes come into conflict. Prominent figures in this field include Jonathan Kaye, Jean Lowenstamm, Jean-Roger Vergnaud, Monik Charette, and John Harris.

question: What do allomorphs differentiate?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is a frequently used criterion for deciding whether two languages should be assigned to the same phoneme?
is_impossible: yes
context: In a course at the LSA summer institute in 1991, Alan Prince and Paul Smolensky developed optimality theory—an overall architecture for phonology according to which languages choose a pronunciation of a word that best satisfies a list of constraints ordered by importance; a lower-ranked constraint can be violated when the violation is necessary in order to obey a higher-ranked constraint. The approach was soon extended to morphology by John McCarthy and Alan Prince, and has become a dominant trend in phonology. The appeal to phonetic grounding of constraints and representational elements (e.g. features) in various approaches has been criticized by proponents of 'substance-free phonology', especially Mark Hale and Charles Reiss.

is_impossible: yes

question: What is a frequently used criterion for deciding whether two languages should be assigned to the same phoneme?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is a branch of levels?
is_impossible: yes
context: An important part of traditional, pre-generative schools of phonology is studying which sounds can be grouped into distinctive units within a language; these units are known as phonemes. For example, in English, the "p" sound in pot is aspirated (pronounced [pʰ]) while that in spot is not aspirated (pronounced [p]). However, English speakers intuitively treat both sounds as variations (allophones) of the same phonological category, that is of the phoneme /p/. (Traditionally, it would be argued that if an aspirated [pʰ] were interchanged with the unaspirated [p] in spot, native speakers of English would still hear the same words; that is, the two sounds are perceived as "the same" /p/.) In some other languages, however, these two sounds are perceived as different, and they are consequently assigned to different phonemes. For example, in Thai, Hindi, and Quechua, there are minimal pairs of words for which aspiration is the only contrasting feature (two words can have different meanings but with the only difference in pronunciation being that one has an aspirated sound where the other has an unaspirated one).

is_impossible: yes

question: Who differs in the extent to which they requires phonemes to be phonetically similar?
is_impossible: yes

question: When was the phonome's modern concept developed?
is_impossible: yes
context: Part of the phonological study of a language therefore involves looking at data (phonetic transcriptions of the speech of native speakers) and trying to deduce what the underlying phonemes are and what the sound inventory of the language is. The presence or absence of minimal pairs, as mentioned above, is a frequently used criterion for deciding whether two sounds should be assigned to the same phoneme. However, other considerations often need to be taken into account as well.

is_impossible: yes

question: When did John Goldsmith share his work?
is_impossible: yes
context: The particular contrasts which are phonemic in a language can change over time. At one time, [f] and [v], two sounds that have the same place and manner of articulation and differ in voicing only, were allophones of the same phoneme in English, but later came to belong to separate phonemes. This is one of the main factors of historical change of languages as described in historical linguistics.

question: What are no longer seen as operating on lexical phonology?
is_impossible: yes

question: In the past sounds that now belong to separate phenomes were allophones of what kind  of change in English?
is_impossible: yes
context: The findings and insights of speech perception and articulation research complicate the traditional and somewhat intuitive idea of interchangeable allophones being perceived as the same phoneme. First, interchanged allophones of the same phoneme can result in unrecognizable words. Second, actual speech, even at a word level, is highly co-articulated, so it is problematic to expect to be able to splice words into simple segments without affecting speech perception.

context: Different linguists therefore take different approaches to the problem of assigning sounds to phonemes. For example, they differ in the extent to which they require allophones to be phonetically similar. There are also differing ideas as to whether this grouping of sounds is purely a tool for linguistic analysis, or reflects an actual process in the way the human brain processes a language.

question: When did theoretical linguists turn away traditioinal analysis concepts?
is_impossible: yes

question: On what level do theoretical linguists consider basic approaches?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is a name for the basic phoneme unit?
is_impossible: yes

question: What kind of linguists are leaving the old phonemes behind?
is_impossible: yes

question: When did theoretical linguists move away from the traditional concept of a morpheme?
is_impossible: yes

question: What kind of linguistics describes how factors of languages change in history?
is_impossible: yes

question: What was de Courtenay's profession?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is another word for phoneme?
is_impossible: yes
context: Since the early 1960s, theoretical linguists have moved away from the traditional concept of a phoneme, preferring to consider basic units at a more abstract level, as a component of morphemes; these units can be called morphophonemes, and analysis using this approach is called morphophonology.

answers: text: how sounds alternate
is_impossible: no

question: The study of syllable structure is part of what discipline?
answers: text: phonology
is_impossible: no

question: What do allomorphs differentiate?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from phonemes what is studies by geometry?
is_impossible: yes

question: The study of accent structure is part of what discipline?
is_impossible: yes

question: What studies how geometry alternates?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is another name for syllable?
is_impossible: yes

question: Instead of being language specific what kind of tool is sign language designed to be? 
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from Alan Prince who brought dominant theory to morphology?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is true of all languages' field parameters?
is_impossible: yes
context: In addition to the minimal units that can serve the purpose of differentiating meaning (the phonemes), phonology studies how sounds alternate, i.e. replace one another in different forms of the same morpheme (allomorphs), as well as, for example, syllable structure, stress, feature geometry, accent, and intonation.

qas: question: Under what topic is suprasegmentals studied?
answers: text: prosody
is_impossible: no

question: Aside from bleeding what is an order of rules that define how pronunciation of a sound changes?
answers: text: feeding
is_impossible: no

question: Phonotactics, phonological alternation and prosody are topics contained in what discipline?
answers: text: Phonology
is_impossible: no

question: Stress and intonation are studied under what topic?
answers: text: prosody
is_impossible: no

question: Under what topic is phonological alternation studied?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from bleeding what is an order of rules that define how suprasegmentals change?
is_impossible: yes

question: Phonotactics, phonological alternation and stress are topics contained in what discipline?
is_impossible: yes

question: Stress and rules are studied under what topic?
is_impossible: yes

question: What includes topics such as sound rules?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from phonemes what is studies by geometry?
is_impossible: yes

question: What was Nikolai Trubetzkoy's publication?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from syntax and the phonological system what else comprises words?
is_impossible: yes
context: Phonology also includes topics such as phonotactics (the phonological constraints on what sounds can appear in what positions in a given language) and phonological alternation (how the pronunciation of a sound changes through the application of phonological rules, sometimes in a given order which can be feeding or bleeding,) as well as prosody, the study of suprasegmentals and topics such as stress and intonation.

qas: question: Instead of being language-specific what kind of tools are the principles of phonological analysis designed to be?
answers: text: general analytical tools
is_impossible: no

question: What other types of language have the phonological analysis principles been applied to?
answers: text: sign languages
is_impossible: no

question: What are the principles of phonological analysis able to be applied separately from?
answers: text: modality
is_impossible: no

question: In sign languages what are not represented as instances of speech sounds?
answers: text: sub-lexical units
is_impossible: no

question: Instead of being language specific what kind of tool is sign language designed to be? 
is_impossible: yes

question: What other types of language have the speech sound principles been applied to 
is_impossible: yes

question: What are the principles of sign language able to be applied separately from?
is_impossible: yes

question: In sign laguages what are not represented as instances of analytical tools?
is_impossible: yes

question: What can be applied depending on modality?
is_impossible: yes

question: How does interchanging phenomes of the same allophone render words?
is_impossible: yes

question: Aside from phonemes what is studies by geometry?
is_impossible: yes

question: What other discipline was combined with expansion by the generativists?
is_impossible: yes
context: The principles of phonological analysis can be applied independently of modality because they are designed to serve as general analytical tools, not language-specific ones. The same principles have been applied to the analysis of sign languages (see Phonemes in sign languages), even though the sub-lexical units are not instantiated as speech sounds.
