About Phonological Rules and Processes
GoConqr OriginalStart with representations and rules
Begin with the Rules flashcards to explore underlying representation, surface form and types of rules. The deck includes allophonic and neutralisation rules, as well as productive and untaught rules. As you study, note the terms that are unfamiliar so you can look for them in the other resources.
Next, use the Sounds flashcards to review phonemic and phonetic representation alongside processes such as assimilation, elision and epenthesis. The deck also includes primary and secondary stress.
Follow the patterns in a mind map
The Common Phonological Rules mind map brings together processes including assimilation, dissimilation, insertion and deletion. Use it after the flashcards to see which terms you recognize and which you want to study again. You can return to the cards to check your understanding of the terms they share.
For a more specific example, the Laxing rules mind map describes a rule involving a stressed vowel followed by a consonant, an i and another vowel. Compare the environment described there with the idea of rules applying in specific environments in the flashcard deck.
Explore connected speech
The mind map on aspects of connected speech covers rhythm, stress-timed rhythm theory and the foot as a unit of rhythm. The Sounds deck also includes stress and processes such as liaison. Study these resources alongside one another to compare the terms they present.
Use this section within Phonology
Phonological Rules and Processes is a section of the Phonology unit in Linguistics and philology. The resources offer different ways to study the section: flashcards for individual terms and mind maps for related ideas. There are no quizzes listed here, so use the flashcards to check recall after studying a map. Choose a map and a deck to use together.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I start with?
The Rules flashcards are a useful starting point for underlying representation, surface form and types of rules. After studying the terms, look at the Common Phonological Rules mind map. It brings together processes such as assimilation, insertion and deletion, giving you another way to organize what you have studied.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover a range of material within this section. Laxing rules describes a particular vowel environment, while Common Phonological Rules lists processes including assimilation and dissimilation. Another map covers aspects of connected speech, including rhythm and stress-timed rhythm theory. The maps offer different starting points depending on the concept you want to study.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users, so you can explore different presentations of phonological rules and processes, including mind maps and flashcards, as you work through the section.
Are there quizzes on this page?
No quizzes are listed in this section. You can use the flashcards to check your recall instead. For example, study the Sounds deck and then return to the Common Phonological Rules mind map to identify terms that appear in both. The resources are aimed at university-level study.
