Contrastive distribution : ウィキペディア英語版 | Contrastive distribution Contrastive distribution in linguistics, as opposed to complementary distribution or free variation, is the relationship between two different elements, where both elements are found in the same environment with a change in meaning. ==Phonology== In phonology, two sounds of a language are said to be in contrastive distribution if replacing one with the other in the same phonological environment results in a change in meaning. If a sound is in contrastive distribution, it is considered a phoneme in that language. For example, in English, the sounds and can both occur word-initially, as in the words ''pat'' and ''bat'' (minimal pairs), which are distinct morphemes. Therefore, and are in contrastive distribution, and thus they are phonemes of English. Note that two sounds which are in contrastive distribution in one language can be in complementary distribution or free variation in another. These sounds occur in English, as in the word ''team'' and ''steam'' , but their occurrence is purely dependent upon phonological context. Therefore, in English, and are not in contrastive distribution, but rather complementary distribution.
