John Lyons on Distinctions - Dictionary of Arguments
I 69/70 Distinctions/sound/relativity/Lyons: the difference between[b] and[p] is not absolute but relative. I.e. we are dealing with sound ranges. >Phonemes. Lyons: the difference between[b] and[p] varies constantly (from the phonetic point of view.) Absolute/Lyons: the difference between the utterance elements /1/ and /2/ is absolute! That is, there is no word in the middle in terms of its grammatical function or meaning, and it is marked by a medium sound. >disjunctive/Goodman, analog/Goodman. Sound/conclusion: since the utterance units must not be confused, there must be a safety distance between the sound ranges they realize._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
