Glossary - NNasal cavity - an opening that leads from the nostrils to the back of your throat. Natural class - linguistic objects that behave in the
same way across a language. here we mean a group of phonemes that share
a set of features, so that if a rule applies to one member of the natural
class it applies to the other members of the natural class. Non-configurational languages - that depend on inflection rather than word order. compare to configurational. Non-gradable antonym - see gradable antonym. strictly speaking you can’t be more dead than someone else (or more alive, unless it’s a figure of speech), so the pair dead – alive is a pair of non-gradable antonyms. *Noun - word used to refer to a person, a place or a
thing. |
