4. Analyze the data and answer each question. (15 points)
[ɪzil] butterfly [salizo] fry [flækso] leaf
[sali] pan [rezada] flower [klas] bud
[rofti] girl [fasto] easy [salɪ] oil
[fɪzu] leap [klεs] tree [stava] limb
a. In this language, are [s] and [z] separate phonemes or allophones of the same phoneme?
b. If you believe that [s] and[z] are phonemes, provide evidence to support that analysis (hint: minimal pair?). If you think they are allophones, provide evidence to support that analysis (hint: no minimal pair?).
c. If they are allophones, identify the base phoneme and the rule for the allophonic variation. (Hint: Remember to consider the conditioning environment in terms of the sounds that both precede and follow the [s] and [z].) Generate an appropriate rule (A > B/…) or prose statement to illustrate/explain your conclusion.
Bonus Question (Natural Classes): Based on your analysis of [s] and [z] and, considering the words [rofti], [flækso], [fɪzu], [fasto] and [stave], could you make a generalization re. a phonological rule that may apply to a particular natural class of sounds in this language? (Hint: Think about s/z and f/v and articulatory characteristics they might share...)
