Phonem

pho·neme (f

)

The smallest phonetic unit in a language that is capable of conveying a distinction in meaning, as the m of mat and the b of bat in English.

[French phonème, from Greek phnma, phnmat-, utterance, sound produced, from phnein, to produce a sound, from phn, sound, voice; see bh-² in Indo-European roots.]

phoneme [ˈfəʊniːm]

(Linguistics) Linguistics one of the set of speech sounds in any given language that serve to distinguish one word from another. A phoneme may consist of several phonetically distinct articulations, which are regarded as identical by native speakers, since one articulation may be substituted for another without any change of meaning. Thus /p/ and /b/ are separate phonemes in English because they distinguish such words as pet and bet, whereas the light and dark /l/ sounds in little are not separate phonemes since they may be transposed without changing meaning

[via French from Greek phōnēma sound, speech]

phoneme - A word for a hallucination in which voices are heard.
