I True or False 1 . Any sound produced by a human being is a phoneme. 2 . Phones are the sounds that can distinguish meaning. 3 . Phonology is concerned with how the sounds can be classified into different categories. 4 . A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if substituting one sound for another results in a change of meaning. 5 . When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a phonemic contrast. 6. Suprasegmental phonology refers to the study of phonological properties of units larger than the segment-phoneme, such as syllable, word and sentence. 7. Two sounds are in free variation when they occur in the same environment and do not contrast, namely, the substitution of one for the other does not produce a different word, but merely a different pronunciation. 8. All syllables must have a nucleus but not all syllables contain an onset and a coda. 9. If two phonetically similar sounds occur in the same environments and they distinguish meaning, they are said to be in complementary distribution. 10 . English is a tone language while Chinese is not. II.
