| Description | The paper compares definitions of "phoneme" in three phonological schools: Post-Bloomfieldian phonology (sc. American Structuralist), morphological (approach put forth by Ondřej Šefčík, influenced by Glossematics) and functionalist phonology (connected with the names of André Martinet, Tsutomu Akamatsu and/or Jan W. F. Mulder). The definitions are applied on the problem of neutralization of the word-final obstruents in Czech. All of the three mentioned approaches solve the problem differently. The paper also touches briefly upon so-called morphonological alternations. |
