[lg policy] dialects or accents : a confusion !

[vic.webb at VODAMAIL.CO.ZA]

No, Mostari

 

A phoneme is an abstract entity, (a unit in the grammatical system of a
language), which represents the different pronunciations of the particular
unit. E.g. the English /r/, which is pronounced differently in the UK, the
USA, and elsewhere where English is spoken (and in some positions of words
which contain the phoneme, not even pronounced, or heard: as in the
pronunciation of the /r/ in car in the UK (and here in SA).

 

The sounds one hears when people speak, material entities, are phones,
speech sounds.

 

Hope this helps.
