etic: a term in contr
ast with emic which originates from American linguist Pike
distinction of phonetics and phonemics.Being etic mans making far too many, as well as behaviously inconsequential,differentiations,just as was ofter the case with phonetic vx.phonemic analysis in linguistics proper. 4.
emic: a term in contrast with etic which originates from American linguist Pike
distinction of phonetics and phonemics.An emic set of speech acts and events must be one that is validated as meaningful via final resource to the native members of a speech communith rather than via qppeal to the investigator’s ingenuith or intuition alone.

Voicing: pronouncing a sound (usually a vowel or a voiced consonant) by Broad and narrow transcription: the use of a simple set of symbols in
vibrating the vocal cords.
transcription is called broad transcription;the use of a simple set of symbols in transcription is called broad transcription;while,the use of more specific symbols to show more phonetic detail is referred to as narrow transcription. 24．cavity. 25．26．

the internal structure of has to do with reference. relevant acoustic signal,all elements matching it are fully acticated,and,as more of the signal is received,the system tries to match it independently with each of them,Wherever it fails the element is deactivated;this process continues until only one remains active. 96. 97. 98. context effect: this effect help people recognize a word more readily when the frequency effect: describes the additional ease with which a word is accessed inference in context: any conclusion drawn from a set of proposition,from receding words provide an
