Abstract
The analytic procedure described in the preceding chapter was based on the supposition that one single feature may constitute the difference between pairs in opposition and pairs in contrast, following the type example that /p/ is identical (structurally) with /b/ except for one feature, the distinctive voice and that, consequently, /b/ can be regarded as /p/+voice, etc.
